I agree with you mate... Australian version of Francis/Marbury... not really a good enough point guard, too small as a SG and a pretty streaky shooter anyway. Having said that he is still a reasonable player and plays more in control and in the system (particularly at national level) then those guys do.
He's playing summer league, maybe for Sac or Denver??
Am I the only person in Australia that finds CJ Bruton to be overrated as hell?
Nope you certainly arent. As was said, Marbury type. He just gets lots of hype because he is black and Australian.
Also... I remember how sad it was when New Zealand beat us a few years back, the news were just like, in other news New Zealand has qualified for the World Championships(think it was that). I was just sitting there thinking... that means the sheep island beat us? But they never do say that.
I think the opposite.... he gets too crap on him from being black and australian and Cal's son.. cos he doesn't dominate
Cal did something in a toilet I remember or at least I think I remember. I really couldnt give two ****s about the NBL it really is a low level of basketball and the coverage it gets outside of Foxtel is awful.
If Sean Marks and Ed Book hadn't retired from international BBall, we would have taken this game. Pretty good for a nation of 4 million people, compared to the size of Australia.
And you have the easiest group at the upcomming WC:
Burton is severly overrated.
(Im a Euro who grew up in aus, ala bogut now in the us ballin')
He isnt all that.. if any NBL player can make a NBA team it would be Newley then again im outta date on the NBL thank god optus scrwing aussies over.. wednesday and saturday nba games? pffft. sorry fellas i got NBA TV, espn all that so i dont miss any nba nowadays:P
Oh and also my mate Rhys Carter doing his thing!
