Basketball: In promising signs for Australia, the Boomers pushed Team USA in their pre-Olympics hit-out, going down fighting in a 98-92 loss
has provided the Boomers “a great stepping stone” ahead of the Paris Olympics – but there’s plenty of room for improvement.
Australia’s Jock Landale showed why he was so sorely missed during last year’s FIBA World Cup, leading the charge with 20 points and seven offensive rebounds, while Chicago Bulls recruit Josh Giddey contributed 17 points. “ Goorjian’s biggest concern is when we are playing and flowing well, who’s going to knock down long-range shots for us?” Bogut continued.
The most glaring weakest link in Australia’s team, according to Bogut, remains Boomers veteran Patty Mills.
