The French coach is notoriously awful. Bro cannot draw a play even if his life depended on it. Literally everyone cannot wait for him to finally leave.
If you’re a Pelicans fan he had to go. Herb Jones and Trey Murphy have much more upside. I was more surprised they didn’t get dealt. Dyson will be fine though.
Why do people who comment on RU-vid not understand that basketball is played in 2 directions. Patty Mills would need to score twenty EVERY game with a true shooting percentage of at least 65% to make up for his horrendous defence. He was the worst defender in the NBA last season.
Hes really surprised me in the warm up games, lots of game time, scoring great defensive pressure we found another one as ingles looks either cooked or being saved for the games you reckon?
@@Fred316-i1f Ingles is a good pick n roll handler and can still shoot, he is a bit slow footed though and his height doesn't seem to be much of an impact (6'8 but slow and not really a rim presence). He's probably just not what australia needs as they already have a lot of shooting plus quickness.
@@user-rk6nn8gh9i Thats all they really need of the man at this point. I believe this is one of the better spaced teams in the patty mills era of boomers, probably one of their best overall teams period. Almost everyone is an nba player of some capacity, and the ones that aren't are extremely capable as well.
I'm so fucking tired of our coach. We got Gobert asking for the ball at the 3 point line with 1 second left. I hope we don't make it out the 1st phase so we can finally get rid of Collet
Patty is turning MJ once again. Australia beats them all coming to the Olympic only lost to the US by 6 points. Beating China (2 games), Serbia , Puerto Rico and now France.
@@gabepizza That Nigeria team lost to Australia by 39 last time and Australia also beat USA in the warm up b4 the Tokyo Olympics so they (Nigeria) deserved to go 0-3. Australia on the other hands went on to win bronze medal. Maybe for the US isn't important but for all others these warm up will tell the strengths before the tournament. If you follow FIBA long enough you LL know what I mean.
He lacks the physical talent and all-roundness to be a star player in the NBA, but he has crazy fundamentals which makes him fill in his roles perfectly. This is exactly what FIBA needs, where team basketball is prioritized.
It's not that they made a mistake. He improved yes. But you see how good he is with the ball in his hands. That wasn't going to happen in OKC. He's had some nice shooting but he's no MPJ or Klay, Hield, Korver etc.
Great to see Patty in shooting form. I was a doubter I must admit. He does show up for the Olympics! Dyson doing a good jod. They still miss Thybulles defensive pressure , steals, blocks and deflections.
What? Buddy there’s about 2 seconds left. He actually tried but he was late, come on that’s a sneak pass there’s not much time to react. The question is why the hell the coach did not anticipate that play? Also their last offensive play is atrocious. Everybody was confused.
France advantage of having 2 bigs was erased by the poor defense of the 3 others.. France should start with a solid defense outside and points will just easily come
Sadly the coaching staff has brought back players that are imo past their prime and with De Colo and Fournier. Their defensive carence is obvious to see....
@@JayzsMr I get that you don't watch Gobert. Who does but at least take 1 min to look up his adv stats and that say prob he best all time on D. Adv stats don't have Wilt. U a casual
Never ever I want to hear somebody say the Spurs arent doing a very good job at running an offense with Wemby. Dont even dare say that again. I cant believe France calls this thing an "offense".
@Wembyfan1 nah spurs last season were really awful in giving wemby offense plays but at least they tried. This france team is 10x worse. People really dont understand how monster wemby will be if he’s got some competent teammates who can shoot pass and defend the perimeter. With the addition of barnes castle and paul I am truly excited..
We (France) have 2 main issues: - our 4 best players are our 4 interior players - we seem to have no offensive plan, no go-to offense, and no creator apart from Wemby. Heurtel would have been soooooo important for the team. I was in the arena and the ending was so disappointing...
I dont wanna be negative. But the Aussies once they allowed to play are awsome. When they in the nba they are restricted to letting the Stars dominate. Patty mills has always been a great player but he doesn't get to play the minutes he deserves in the NBA. Daniels is a gun too. We will rattle the top sides and we will get put of our group and play for a medal
Name the Aussie player that is even in the Top 15 best players. You don’t have to stick to this era. Mills literally started for the Spurs and Brooklyn at one point after being the 55th pick in his draft year. wtf are you on?
@shawn47240 Do u even watch basketball. You telling me the stars are not protected species and get games off there name rather than game. Domt even get me started on this crap. Wake up mate.
@shawn47240 They are restricted to perform and base there game around feeding the stars. Watch the playoffs. If you cant see that the mavs had a one man offense that they run the ball through. Luka ran the plays and mad a mess of it all. Not allowing others to help. Then the media says..we need more from the others. They can't perform if they get the opportunity or are ignored on the floor. Lebron is the same at the lakers.
@@callumsmith5819 True. It's also true you've 5 seconds to inbound from when the ref gives you the ball. The ref will count those five seconds, sometimes very slowly 🐌...
@@DJTOM_reath isn't big enough for a traditional FIBA 5. Good length but not strong enough defending the post or boxing out. His rebounding and defence at the level is a concern
Good game. You can really tell the NBA players by their confidence and consistency. Both teams were a little lax in defense on the perimeter. Australia was slightly better in on ball defense, with more steals France will be a problem but they need a quicker guard than Batum to guard Patty Mills.
