Luke got 05:30 in total, he scored 2 points and dragged down 2 defensive rebounds, however his minutes where in the fourth quarter when the game had all but blown out! Still a great effort by Luke!
2 and 2 in over half a quarter wont get it done. Teams arent concerned with W and L at this stage but individual perfomances and team continuity. For his size and having played in the college system, id expect alot more really. But from a purely patritotic point of view always nice to see Aussies in the mix.
He wont be measured on stats but how little he rocked the boat and how well he contributed defensively.
Id say he will be measured on stats as well champ. If they want a training body, theyd be best to go with a tried and tested veteran.
Yeah, but the stats they judge him on mostly wont be in the boxscore. Did he have his spacing right? Did he set an effective pick? Did he keep his man off the glass? Did he rotate when he needed to and did he guard his man well one-on-one?

Maybe true, Hurls, but he has size.
Guys like Kazzouh, who look better in Australia, are actually PFs in the NBA.

Mark Eaton was one of the finest Shot Blockers in NBA history, comparing him to Luke Neville is an insult.
Luke NEville is more like a poor mans Chuck Nevitt
just saw this about Luke Neville on believe the hype - http://believethehypenba.com/2012/10/15/luke-nevill-pacers-update/
Luke Neville is the shittest player ive even seen. What an Ogar. Kazzouh should be playing NBA and not this moron.
