Team Australia beat Team USA 2013 Red 74-72.

USA 2013 Red included 7 players in the ESPN top 50 including Kasey Hill #6 ranked and Chris Walker #7 ranked.

Jonathan Givony tweeted about the game

"Total team effort for the Australians knocking off a team full of top-50 US high school recruits. Dante Exum the orchestrator"

Great result for the Aussie team! Exum will be able to choose which college he wants to attend one would think...North Carolina looking likely

Should be interesting tomorow he matches up with USA Blue 2012 point guard Nate Britt who's signed with North Carolina

Dante Exum had 17pts. 5-6 from the field and 7-8 from the foul line.

International Standout

Ben Simmons -- Australian SF Ben Simmons just turned 16 and he's already standing out against American players two years his elder. He is a lefty with a sweet shooting stroke and tremendous feel for the game. Along with teammate Dante Exum, the Aussies pulled off the win against the 2013 red rising senior American team (which included Kasey Hill, Chris Walker and Brannen Greene) he wowed scouts on hand with his tremendous leaping ability and all around skills. He started the game off flashing his tremendous vision and passing skills. He also pushed the ball up the floor in transition showing advanced ball handling ability. Additionally he shows a first step to get by opponents off the bounce. He had one play towards the end of the game where he rose up from outside the circle and dunked over a defender. He was the guy receiving the most buzz after day 1, as scouts were raving about him as a potential future top 5 pick. This kid has a chance to be special.

Nice write up of Simmons!

Exum - 13p 7r 3a

adidas Nations 2012 - Pool Play Round 3

Ballislife has just created a mixtape on Ben. Getting major exposure over there!

Does anyone know what the deal is with Owen Odigie and what his plans are? Just a little confused since he was a development player for the tigers or something? Yet he still is touring with the AIS

There's some mystery recruit for the Gaels next season and was wondering if it was possibly him, since if he didnt recieve match payments as a tiger he'd still be eligible(Im just taking a shot in the dark here since I have no idea who it could be heh)

Kyle Clark TAS
Harrison Froling QLD
Jayden Hodgson NSW
Isaac Humphries NSW
Gerard Martin VIC
Jack McVeigh QLD
Dejan Vasiljevic VIC
Jacob Pupavac VIC

How does gerard martin continue to make these teams?

I think Martin will turn into a very handy pro.

no Will White ?

That Froling name just keeps on opening doors.
