The first Aussie to bring up 1k nba games, legend.
The game itself was quiet though, 2rebs and 1ast in 19 mins during Utahs 105-92 win against an injury hampered Orlando

Longest NBA career for Aussies too going by seasons.
Patty Mills - 16th season
Andrew Bogut - 14 seasons
Joe Ingles - 11th season
Luc Longley - 10 seasons
Aron Baynes - 10 seasons

Interestingly despite his modest numbers today, he was a game high +17 which probably adds to the proof that +/- isnt always that useful.
Amazing achievement by Patty. Probably the best #55 draft pick of all time.

Interesting Fact: Louis Scola was also drafted at pick 55.
So was Aaron Wiggins, currently at the Thunder.
Conggrats Patty!

Scola was the 55th player taken in his draft, but he's officially a #56 pick. There was a pick taken off the timberwolves in the first round so there was nobody taken with that pick.

The most recent pick #55 also generated a fair bit of interest!

You can't accurately gauge that until you've seen FIBA Bronny

If Patty plays for them he will be the first Aussie to play for the Clippers, currently the only NBA team that has never had an Aussie play for them.
