Earily to mid second round is a huge possibility and if he has a few good works out and meet the team's criteria he could raise as high as late first round.

No chance he will go in the top 15 but could sneak in between 25 and 30 if not low 40's

Hoops Hype was saying a couple of months ago he will be Top 20 if he can show some Defensive skills.

They like his athleticism and confidence with the ball.

I'd say he'll go in the 30's . There are a lot of good shooting guards that are going to clog up the middle of the first round.

I know someone whos a mates of Newleys dad, apparently 6 teams are intrested... among them are the caveliers, 76ers, boston and the LA clippers.

I think he'll go late second round if he's lucky. IMO he needs more consistency on his 3 point shot, and add another 3 feet and then get that consistent. Also he needs to add a considerable amount more size to his frame, considering he'd be guarding the likes of Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Pierce, Joe Johnson at that position, just to name a few. They're all much, much bigger than he is in terms of muscle. He is definitely the best player I've seen at his age in Aus by a fair way, but I feel he MAY be being a little bit adventurous in trying for the NBA just yet. I haven't seen him play an awful lot though, so I might be wrong... good luck to him though.

Better for him to go for it now, get on a bench somewhere and get the professional trainig and honing that is required to become what is needed for the NBA, than keep running around and being a star in the NBL purerly for his athletiscism and not realy advantage his game all that much, some tough years ahead for the young fella but for the better if he sticks with it.

Sort of agree with you DJ. Go now while his stock is on the increase. I wouldn't want him to sit on a bench and watch.

He would be better off going in the second round and then being sent to the D League to gain that experience.

He would be worth a mid to late 2nd rounder based on today. Give him some rookie camps etc etc and he'll go higher...

He's not a good defender. or a consistent 3 ball shooter. Everyone is an athletic 6'6 shooter in America. Why they would go for newley is a bit beyond me.

But good luck to him though. I guarded him once.

Go for your dream.

If he doesn't go to the any of the pre-draft camps, Portsmith, Chicago and the other, then he would have got a guarentee from a club and as such will go first round. If he goes to the above (camps)then he is trying to impress and work his way into the first round.

At the moment he is upper second round with Clippers and San Antonio (Brown Goorj connection) as the front runners. He is viewed as Manu Gin. type player ie drive the lanes with good handles.

Needs another 10KGs and a better defencive game, but then again Detroit and SA about the only teams having any semblance of D.

As if Phoenix and Dallas dont make your list of D orientated teams ..

























HA ha ha ..

he will be in at the most top 25 or 30... come on he's way ahead of anstey & he got picked from memory in top 20.. give the boy some time. Its best to get in while you have a chance. We don't want him to do a simon dwight & say i'm not ready yet..then miss out altogether. This in time will be a regular occurence for aussie players headin to the big smoke. Get used to it..

I know this is a late post, but, saying Newley is way ahead of Anstey is stupid. Anstey has something newley will never have: height. Drafting a 7 footer and drafting a 6'6'er is 2 completely different things.
