Will be taller that his dad, let's hope he has inherited Jeff's incredible leap, athleticism and beautiful kicking action. He certainly looked good on his under age video highlights. A mouth watering father/son prospect for the mighty Dees under the tutelage of Captain Max and our merry band of coaches. Don't worry about that. I read somewhere on here he is breaking schoolboy high jump records. 1 Quote

Also a much much harder sport to succeed in at the highest level. It's a risky move to pick basketball over AFL in Australia unless you are an absolute A+ talent with a future in the NBA. 2 Quote

Patty Mills has shot the lights out in now what is an increasingly 3 point pame. Ben Simmonds can't even make a free throw and isn't what I would call a culture maker. I reckon Jason Taylor could go over and recruit with the same principals. 2 Quote

Simmons' lack of competitiveness in some crucial games has raised questions about his character as a basketball player. - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Ben-Simmons-61928/ ©DraftExpress Edited December 6, 2021 by adonski 2 1 Quote

He can do the high jump, play NBL for the Brisbane Bullets and ruck for the Dees in the same calendar year. 5 8 Quote

Yet in that last footage Jeff shared he was really nowhere near dunking the ball in an open lane ? (Jeff mentioned the nearness, which makes it seem not so common). 6.5 - can't dunk - something is wrong with this picture. 2 Quote

Nearly ever kid that gets drafted are good at any sport they play and usually need to make a call between sports around 15 years old. Kids heights are off the charts, I was at a U15 netball event a couple of weeks back, Association level, I'm 180cms and the girls in the shooter, keeper roles all stood over me most would have been around 185-190cms at 14/15 years old. Be interesting to see how this guy develops playing in QLD the junior leagues are a lot weaker than Vic/SA/WA comps. 1 Quote

Some parents like to go about it in a quiet way and enjoy the journey with their kids, and some like Jeff love to let the whole world know about it and live through their kids own glory. I know a few parents like this also. Nothing wrong with parents who support their children at their sport and give them the proper encouragement. It’s those who take the next step beyond that and become controlling who are the major problem. Remember Jelena Dokic's father Damir Dokic. He was a nightmare and probably destroyed her career. 2 Quote
