Another basketballer lost to AFL
Yet another promising basketballer has been snapped up by an AFL team, this time it is Ryan Bathie who played for Melbourne Tigers. Geelong has snapped him up and put him on their list.
Wells said he looked forward to seeing Bathie who led the scoring for his Nicholls State Uni team in the 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons and left as its ninth all-time greatest scorer develop in the VFL next year. "He's only played football at school, but it's really important to point out that he's not taking the position of a footballer on the list, he's actually outside the list," he said.
"We hope that over the course of summer training he'll improve in all the areas he needs to, both physically and with his football ability and knowledge, and play a role in our VFL."
