Dante Exum is shooting the ball better than he ever has with Partizan this season. Across 23 combined Liga ABA and Euroleague games, Exum is shooting 48% from three (54 attempts) and 95% from the line (84 attempts).

AWESOME debut for Dante Exum. 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Barcelona was great for him but Exum will really get to shine in Partizan this season. Chance to feature at an elite level and a great platform to get back to the NBA as well.

Seeing Reath and Exum blow up in the NBA this month has been amazing. It may be an odd takeaway, but given how much we know NBA success is talent, but also opportunity and fit, I think we should stop placing inherent value in NBA pedigree when selecting Boomers squads. (1/3)

In lieu of Josh Giddey's start to the season, do we all agree that he was almost an undeniable pick for the Olympic squad, disregarding possible extraneous factors such as Delly vet status, Giddey's pre-draft process, etc?

Here's Jock Landale's 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in 15 minutes in his Spurs preseason debut. Worth noting the 5 TO's in that time too (included in clip), but they were largely very fixable.. a travel plus a couple of sloppy outlet passes are things he'll tidy up.

Thon Maker made his first appearance for Hapoel Jerusalem a couple of nights ago. Finished with 5 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in 18 minutes. The passing definitely seems to be the most promising takeaway here. In some nice positions to hit cutters and he executes well.

Just watched Dante Exum's 18 mins for Houston today. Did a great job doing what we know he can do - attacking closeouts as a secondary playmaker w/ his 1st step, finding his bigs, and holding his own on D. Generating 6 assists on the wing and w/o initiating much is great.

Danté Exum in the Mavericks’ win vs the Lakers today: 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. He made a new career-high 7 three-pointers (7/9 3pt). In 4 games as a starter for the Mavs - all wins - Exum is averaging 17.5 ppg, 6.0 rpg, and 5.8 apg. He’s playing the best basketball

Jock Landale with his best preseason game yet - 17 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks. He's been so consistent for the Suns thus far it seems like he's a lock for the regular rotation. Well deserved after a year of minimal opportunity in San Antonio.

Dyson Daniels with an absolute blinder in his first (non preseason) G League game. 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists. 8/13 from the floor and an encouraging 3/5 from three. Ignite giving him plenty of reps to develop on the ball, which is wonderful for his development.

Just a reminder today Giddey's actual draft spot isn't the end all be all. Be cool to see him go as high as possible, given it's an endorsement of his quality by pro decision makers, but ultimately I just want him to go to an org that is a good fit and will develop him.

Roman Siulepa (2006) is up to averages of 17 points and 9 rebounds per game in NBL1 North across his first 5 games. 26 and 15 in his last game vs. Brisbane Capitals. This game - 9/12 FT, 1/2 3PT Prior 4 games - 9/30 FT, 0-5 3PT. Shooting development is the key for him.

Was alerted to this 6'11 (maybe 7'0!) 15 year old playing for North Harbour in New Zealand today - Julius Halaifonua. Some very impressive flashes in these few clips alone. Hits a 3 off a pindown, some impressive coordination and vertical pop, and a solid frame.

Bulk David Okwera minutes has done wonders for his confidence. The stat-line may not be gawky but he's growing into his upside with every game. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say he has NBA upside long term.

A couple of spot up triples from Johnny Furphy on debut. Opportunity the big question mark when committing to the projected #1 team in college basketball. 17 minutes on debut a good start.

I had a watch of Dash Daniels across his Under 16's games a few weeks back. Hot take, and early days, but if he grows similar in stature to Dyson he is going to be a better prospect than his brother, I feel, and comfortably. Super high on him for his age.

Dash Daniels ('07 and younger brother of Dyson) is a very interesting prospect. He's shifty and explosive off the dribble. Great touch on his floaters and shoots the ball well from deep

I don't believe there's much to be gained in evaluation in these one on zero settings, but the one thing that stands out is just how comfortable and compact his spot up release is these days. Made some great strides as a shooter over the past few years.

Dyson Daniels had (in my view) the most impressive showing of any prospect on the Pro Day circuit at the NBA Combine, shooting the lights out and looking like he still has immense potential he's yet to tap into. Starting to generate some top-five pick buzz.

Dante Exum ➡️ Barcelona. He's on route over the next few days. Would imagine an official announcement wouldn't be far off. This is a great spot on a team that has a need at the guard spot with Nick Calathes out for 6 weeks. An elite organisation with a highly reputable coach.

Dyson Daniels sits at #10 on ESPN's board right now. The Ringer have him at #11 . It's a similar range to where Giddey was mocked this time last draft cycle, and it wouldn't surprise me if a late surge pushes him into the mid to late top 10 in the same way it did for Josh.

I think Jo Lual-Acuil might be the MVP if the season ended today. Or at least in the top 3, as far as the discussion goes. Pretty crazy thing to say for a guy that came off the bench last year (as dominant as he was in that role). #NBL22

After following for all these years and riding all the bumps in the road as a fan, it's so great to see Exum finally putting together games like this in the NBA. Always capable of it, finally healthy, and all the better for his experience in Europe.

Chima Moneke had a monstrous 24 points in 24 minutes, along with 5 rebounds and 3 steals, in a pivotal win for Manresa against Unicaja Malaga. Manresa now through to the Champions League Final Four.

That was an absolutely monster effort from Matthew Dellavedova tonight. If he can build off some of the momentum shooting the lights out today for the rest of the season, that's massive for him and United's prospects this year.

I thought @BenMallis describing the potential cutting of Matthew Dellavedova as 'like shooting Bambi' on @PickandRollAU 's Podium Pod this week to be extremely apt. Past being in our top 12 on the court, but Delly remains and forever will be a Boomers great.

The Boomers have narrowed their squad down from 15 to 13 ahead of their games in Melbourne as they take on Venezuela, Brazil and South Sudan on August 14, 16 and 17. 12 players from the squad will then be chosen to represent Australia at the World Cup. Full details 👇

INSANE finish to Game 3. Credit to Scott Roth going with Majok Deng at the 5 down the stretch there. Jack McVeigh had an incredible shot to win things, but Deng stepped up massively across that fourth quarter. #NBL24

This is one of the most prolific performances from a college athlete I've seen at the NBL1 level. Got the W against Ipswich, who had a lineup featuring Nathan Sobey, both Galloway's, Matt Hodgson and Deng Deng. The Mocs have themselves a bucket getter..
