Good for him , will be better for he experience whatever happens. Good to see so many young Aussies doing well.

I'm amazed that lithuania only have two nba players at the moment and we have so many more (I know they have plenty of talent in euro leagues)

Thanks LC, I didn't know that

Godo players always get a look, but D2 players don't get mentioned in Aussie media which include PnR.

Did you know that Scottie Pippen was a Division 2 college player?

Three time Lakers championship player Devean George was a Div 3 college player

So many spuds here saying he cant make it. He's at least got a shot far more than most all us here will ever have. He set out to do this a long time ago and every goal he has set he has achieved. Not only that his mother has serious medical issues too. He set up a charity about breast cancer and pink awareness that raised $10,000's world wide.
Academically and athletically he was outstanding and has achieved more than most here have in their life times already than the spuds here will ever achieve. Please dont tell me he can't. I know him personally and I and many others know he can achieve what ever he wants.

I think greenwood would make a great 3rd string pg in the nba on minimum wage.
Jazz have Burke, Exum and cotton. No one seems to want Burke and they want cotton backing up Dante. Maybe he gets stashed in the d league?

has he got tryouts with other clubs?

Greenwoods strengths are his vision, his defence and his low turnover rate?
Also has improved alot on his shooting..

McCarron is working out at Denver Nuggets right now?

This guy is a cross between greenwood and dellavedova. I really like his attitude and think he should make the nba, or at least summer league. His numbers for metro state are pretty amazing.

I wonder if the Utah are still interested in Motum? Potential for four aussies at the Jazz next season.

The negative posts are in the true greenwood thread. So many criticizing him. They clearly haven't got the balls to do it here. The cowards.

The Jazz chose Cooley over motum.

Exum/Burke/cotton
Burks/hood/millsap
Hayward/ingles/dekker(draft pick possibly)
Favors/booker
Gobert

leaves 3 more players to pick.
Tomic has re-signed with Barcelona so he won't be coming.
Motum has a chance at pf but they have Cooley and Jarrett on the roster already.
Another centre or 2 is required.

Broekhoff is signed to besiktas until 2017. Maybe an nba out clause?

Becoming a trend... Potential nba players.
Last year 2014
Bairstow and motum from college

This year 2015
Greenwood and McCarron from college

Next year 2016
Drmic and jois from college most likely.

Plus a bunch of young guys.
Simmons, maker, w.white maybe?

Isnt he signed by Perth?

"Certainly not NBA"

Yet the Jazz asked him to try out...

Signed by perth. No. More perth drivel. Opining on someones ability based on their theory of how good a player is meaningless. If you have game cred and want to give serious opinion then please add your real name. Otherwise stfu.

@Young Gun those who know or have been there understand that it is not all about D1 when an Aussie baller is looking at college. It is about the fit! You can land a full scholarship worth just as much as a D1 in a strong D2 and get a better education with more court time and in a smaller university. Also, there may be less chance the coach scouts a player to come in and play your minutes the following year. Only very special or athletic Aussie ballers make a D1 and get big minutes, there will only be a handful every year. The others sit and watch and wonder why they didn't go to a D2 or move down to one soon enough. D3 or Jucco is not usually funded, the parents of the kid have to pay so different story.

Just from watching that interview with Greenwood you can see just how good a team mate he is he would do anything to win. His positive attitude would no doubt be infectious for others

#618, it wasn't Perth who said anything about Hugh signing with them. It was Boti.

Isaac fotu too

I would say McCarron has a greater chance at making NBA than Greenwood based on offensive ability and long range shooting. Defensive ability, size and ability to guard multiple positions, Greenwood is ahead.

Those looking at Utah and Greenwood I see it as a long chance. Fair chance this offseason they will try and bring Raul Neto in as they hold his draft rights and have Neto and Exum as PG combo for the future. I can see Burke traded out for a veteran PG (maybe using Burke to trade up in the Draft).

Good that Greenwood getting looks, but unsure how his game translates to the NBA. Ryan Broekhoff should get A LOT of looks as a 3-D player that so many teams need (Charlotte, Memphis, Detroit, Oklahoma, Denver to name a few).

McCarron is the same height as greenwood (both 6'3-191cm) and 10-15 lbs heavier.
Both undersized guards in regards to length and height.
In the Detroit interview.. McCarron says his well aware he will have to play against guys much more athletic and 3-4 inches taller than him at the next level if he makes it.

There should be a spot for me in the league as a miss 3s and get beat player.

Great person. One of the finest at that young age I have ever known.
