Next Boomers team - WC qualifier window Nov 25-Mar 26

Know this may be too soon but let's have some fun:

This is assuming we have all NBL / International players available (Not NBA/NCAA)

Cotton / Delly / Hickey
Goulding / DJV /
Galloway / Ducas
McVeigh / Cooks / White
Magnay / Humphries / Hunter

Sure I’ve missed names like WMW, Pinder, Kay, etc - fire away with you suggestions

Who wants to see this sometime?

So the Boomers A team, let's call them Boomers Gold v the B team above (Boomers Green)

Get as many of them into camp in the NBA off season, get them into the Boomers system and culture and play an exhibition match or two.

Giddey / Exum / Armstrong
Daniels / Mills / Green
Furphy / Toohey / Thybulle
Landale / Olbrich / Ingles
Reath / Condon / Rocco

Whoever missed the Gold team can filter down to the Green team.

Add Bannan and MacDaniel to the Green team for 15 a-side exhibition matches. Green V Gold. Reckon up to 10 of the Green team players might fancy a spot in the Gold team. Here's a chance to prove/earn it.

Come on threeball, Patty is retired and working at Uni of Hawaii. Joe is too old and needs to retire from FIBA. Armstrong and Toohey ahead of Procter and McVeigh doesn't seem right to me.

I like Harvey's inclusion. Still no Bannan (for White or Kay) and MacDaniel (for Pepper). Couple of others but it just comes down to who you like better. So many good/great choices now.

Really hope that you're wrong in your 2nd line (which I don't want to repeat!).

I don't believe Patty has officially retired. These college "GM" positions are mostly PR roles. Steph Curry has one among a bunch of other current NBA players.

Luke Paul is making waves in the under 16 team and has already been likened to Josh Giddey. Id like to see him get a camp invite and get him amongst the big time ASAP. Maybe dont put him on the team but the sooner we get guys in the program, the better.

Might be just a little early but I agree. Paul looks to be very talented. Outstanding decision making and the Crocs were so much better when he had the ball in his hands. Hope he continues on his trajectory because while he has a lot of similarities to Giddey he sort of looks more fluid.

Cant wait to see how he goes with tougher competition at the World championships.
