Muzzhawk

Another Aussie from Melbourne. Have supported the Hawks since the early 90s. Have been a member on here for a while without really posting. Mainly because the time difference makes it impossible to engage in any meaningful conversation.

Haha, thanks. I have been meaning to post more but the time difference being in Melbourne makes it difficult to get too involved in discussion. Most games are played at around midday here so I am usually at work and by the time I get home it is around 3am ET in the US. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I have to agree to an extent about his consistency. Although he is a capable shooter, his release isn't particularly fast so he tends to play well next to guards who can penetrate, hence why he looks better in the National team with Mills. It just allows to be a bit more open, more often. I am not overly familiar with Barcelona in terms of system so I can't comment. Our system may work well for him as we move the ball well, which may help highlight some of his better attributes. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

He is an Aussie. He played really well as a 19 year old in our National League and was probably our best player in the London Olympics, ahead of Mills. He has a pretty well rounded game. Most Australians tend not to be too athletic by NBA standards so from an intangibles perspective they are pretty well coached from early to offset this and most kids here play Australian rules football or rugby so they tend to be pretty tough. He can handle the ball well for his size with both hands and shoots the mid range well. You COULD play him at the point in short bursts but I honestly think he is best suited to the 3 in the NBA, probably in a team focussed environment or in a line up where the PG can play off the ball. Passes the ball well for someone of any size. He is probably a poor mans Toni Kukoc. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
