Brad Newley, Australia
Norwoodbasketball.com.au: Newley was a revelation in the NBL,
Australia's top professional league, when he was 2005 Rookie of the Year. He
played for his country at the FIBA U21 World Championship in Argentina and is
expected to play for the Boomers at the FIBA World Championship in Japan.Newley is very quick off the dribble and loves to drive and use his size to finish at the rim. He also is a dangerous three-point shooter who has an innate feel for game situations - probably from watching his father, who also was a professional player in Australia. Newley is expected to come to the US and work out for teams. The impressions left by those workouts will tell whether Newley stays and is drafted this year or withdraws and is drafted next year. From Crocodiles.com.au: Selected for the Crocs Australian Young Mens (U/22) national team tour of Europe in 2004 played for the Australian U/19 team in 2002, including the Albert Schweitzer tournament attended the Australian Institute of Sport in 2001 and 2002 and won the Bob Staunton Memorial Scholarship scored an NBL career-high 22 points against the Melbourne Tigers in Round 21 of the 2003/04 season shot 43% from the floor and scored 67 points in the 2004/05 season |
