AdelaideNow: Patrick Mills Steps in to Pick up the Slack for Aussies

James Dampney of AdelaideNow just wrote an article on Patty’s role with Australia’s national basketball team. Here’s a snippet from the article:

Earlier this decade, the Australian men’s basketball team was facing a crisis.

For the preceding 20 years, the Boomers had been blessed with some world-class point guards, including multiple-Olympians Shane Heal, CJ Bruton and Phil Smyth.

But with Heal ending his international career after the 2004 Olympics and Bruton nearing the end of his time in national colours, there was genuine concern over who would take over the playmaking duties.

Around that time, however, word started to emerge of a lightning quick, pint-sized, indigenous point guard learning the trade in Canberra.

Blogger Reactions: Raptors Pick Up DeMar DeRozan

RookieChronicles.com will be reaching out to various bloggers from each rookie’s new teams throughout the year. Here’s what some of the Raptors bloggers had to say after their team selected DeMar DeRozan:

AltRaps from Raptors Republic
DeRozan has already experienced somewhat of a rollercoaster ride in Toronto. If there is one thing that always shocks rookies or free agents when they come here is how passionate the fans are. If people hear or see one slight against the city or the country, it’s game over. Prior to DeMar coming to work out for us, there was talk that he had no interest in coming to play in Toronto, so he wasn’t going to accept a workout invitation. He was still looked at as a possible pick, which prompted us to poll our readers asking what to do if he was available at 9. 215 wanted us to draft him anyway, while 106 wanted us to choose someone who “wanted to come here”. Of course, he eventually did come for a solo workout. While here he stated he loved Toronto and it was like a mini NYC. We poll again and, this time, 87% of readers want him over the other 4 possible choices listed by Colangelo. Needless to say, we wanted DeRozan.
