Francis, Tolo, Tippett amongst the emerging bigs. Wouldn't be surprised if we are without Taylor, Snell, Harrower and Cox.
What about emerging perimeter players?
agree

Ebzery and Hunt doing ok if they continue to develop. Not many other options in WNBL at moment for outside players.
Agree Francis, Tolo, Tippett, and possibly Cambage if the attitude can be sorted. Four years is a long time and if she learns to play with the attention she gets from opposition she could be a great asset by then. No others from current AIS crop would be currently looking like they have it...

yes, good call anon, agree with that one for sure.
I think foley needs to leave australia in the next couple of years if she wants to make it. Needs to develope her game with a bit more international experience like the others are already doing
Agreed. Although i was extremely happy she stayed with us at the lightning, i thought it was a pretty silly move to stay considering she didnt make the olympic team. This season would have been a good one for her to go over seas with the rest of them!

What about Hollie Grima and Emma Randall? They have been tearing it up overseas without getting much notice, and most people forget they are both only(around?) 23 or 24 years old. Even Nat Porter should still be in with a chance, has she gone overseas this season as well?
Only good things can come from the amount of players leaving AUS to get some real basketball experience overseas. I think Graffie (or maybe Timmsy or Tom Maher?!) will have a bloody hard time deciding between them.

the journo,
Im pretty happy with that. But dont count out Gretel TIPPET by then if she gets fast tracked. probs by then, snell might be too old. Its a long way away!!
Is Snell is too old, you can also rule out Cox, Jackson and Taylor on that basis.
