Not sure the exact time it will be on Foxtel yet, but should be around 11:30 on Sunday I would have thought?

The winner of this game will face the winner of France vs Turkey. From what I have seen so far, Australia would not face the USA until the actual grand final.

The Portland Trail Blazers have signed second-round pick Armon Johnson.

Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed Monday.

Portland selected the 6-foot-3 guard out of Nevada with the 34th overall pick in the June draft.

Following the draft, Johnson averaged 11.6 points and 4.2 assists while starting all five games for Portland’s Las Vegas Summer League squad.


Well I think this spells the end for Patty Mills at the Portland Trail Blazers. Him and Armon Johnson were basically battling for the last point guard roster spot throughout summer league. Might be the best thing for Patty, means another team can look to sign him, or he can now concentrate on a European contact. I hope he doesn't give up on the NBA yet, I still think he has alot to give the NBA.

Some think he might still be at Portland e.g. http://www.examiner.com/x-24705-Portland-Trail-Blazers-Examiner~y2010m8d2-Trail-Blazers-sign-Armon-Johnson-Patty-Mills-left-in-the-dark

Patrick Mills top-scored for Australia with 11 points, while Matt Nielsen added nine. Brad Newley, Mark Worthington and David Barlow all chimed in with eight points apiece for Australia.

Not sure what's happening here. Majok seems to have a massive hype on him, but fails to deliver.....maybe he's just very raw and needs the right coach.]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:05:08 +0000 http://www.aussiebball.com/forums/topic/36780-ater-majok-withdraws-from-uconn/
