No other Aussie will be drafted except Joe Ingles... You are kidding if you think Bruce, Mills or anyone like that will get drafted...

Lets be Realistic

Ingles and Ogilvy will be the next ones, Joe a chance next year think Andrew Ogilvy will be a shot after a few years at college. Def our next best prospects for the big show!

Ogilvy is no better then people like Lougten, Campbell etc were when they were at the AIS. They are now back in the NBL. Allen was meant to be the one but chose the wrong college.

Yes, it is too soon for Ogilvy and Mills.

Bruce and Aleks Maric are chances. Both entering thier last season of college this year. Bruce a bigger chance than Maric though.

Jingles too, as long as he develops this year.

Iti is being watched (if he can harness his gifts he could be a handy 2nd PF/C in the NBA)... If Reggie Theus can hold down the job in Sacto he will spread the vword about him as well..

I reckon Ogilvy, Ingles, Bruce and Maric are all chances in the near future.

Agreed AK - Maric is a canny player but VERY slow... I am not sure if an NBA team would be willing to take on a player like that...

Fact of the matter (RE: Jingles) is that Brad has now proved (if only slightly) that the NBL is a viable incubator for talented young bballers - and that was one of the big debates on here the last few years when Brad came onto the scene (should he have gone to college??? etc...)...

Pat Mills will definitely make NBA someday in the future. Bruce is a gd chance too.

As for 2008 I think Ingles and Bruce are the only probables.

hey guys,

I just went searching for 2008 NBA Mock Drafts and surprisingly I came across this one, which predicts Aussie Andrew Ogilvy will go pick 20.

http://nbadraft.net/index.asp?content=mock2008

I checked numerous other mock drafts and the only one I could find with Joe Ingles predicted him to go pick 56

thats bullcrap..ogivly wont go number 20 ..im sure he wont even go declare for the draft...newley has tried to get in the nba for what 2 years now and he only just got in at no. 56 in the 2nd round..u cant expcect ogivily to just jump up and make it..nor can u expect bruce etc to do the same..i think Matty Knight from Loyola Marymount is a good prospect..

Ogilvy was voted MVP of the last tournament the Aussie Junior team played in Europe.

They played most the best Euro sides and both he and Mills did well. Mills was allstar 5

That said, both would probably do at least 2 years of college. If not all 4 before declaring.

Ogilvy,Mills,Maric,Bruce,Neville,Iti,Ingles, are the only ones who have any kind of chance in the recent future.
