Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

Ben Allen another decent aussie plays will mills and had a good game for anyone interested
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

There is actually 5 Aussie players on the St Marys team. We can mention them all, i just thought most interest would be in Mills due to his potential this year.

Other Aussie players stats for the Fresno State game:

Ben Allen - 12 mins, 10 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block.
Clint Steindl - 10 mins, 5 points, 2 rebounds
Lucas Walker - 3 mins, 1 rebound
Carlin Hughes - 21 mins, 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 3 steals.
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

The highlights of Paddy against Fresno were awesome - so super smooth and you can just tell he reads the game so easily. He is really developing his game to an extremely high level - especially his mid rage jumper. He has an awesome handle and can work in heavy traffic with the best of them. He kinda reminds me of a cross between Nash and Iverson. This guy will be a solid NBA player no question. And good on him - I cant help but feel really proud of what this guy is doing.

Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

great game by Mills against fresno state, watched it last night. St Marys should do good this year with a good solid team and a strong bench. St Mary also adding another 3 aussie next season. The should change their name from the gaels to the boomers...lol
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

I have known Patrick since he was 15, the kid can flat out play and if no major obstacles get in his way, should be able toplay at NBA standard. He was the only Aussie to really step up in the AUs vs US game at the olympics.
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

Just updated 4 more games to the first thread. Last two games look pretty solid and Game 4 looks like a shocker which was the one game St marys has lost this year.
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

solid stats, but he is turning the ball over too much. Only had 1 game under 4 turnovers......going to have to clean that up if he wants to take the next step
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

Just thinking where he might go, his running game might be good in Phoenix with a aging Nash, I reckon he would fit great in that system or any fast scoring team.
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

yep. improve assists and to's slightly and he's on his way. good on him!
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

nice start to his season, great idea having a thread for him, its always good to see aussies doing well overseas
 
Re: Paddy Mills Season Progress Thread

I can't believe I'm the first to point this out, but it's "PATTY" Mills, not Paddy.

Hence Patty his a nicname for PATRICK.

Someone should change the title of the thread, sounds like we're supporting an Irish basketball player.

But he's been great so far averaging 19.8 ppg, the kid can play. Hope he goes lottery this year :)

They also won their 6th game of the season today or yesterday against Kent State.

Mills had something like 26 including 8/17 shooting and 4 or 5 triple's.

lol, i'm well aware that his name is Patrick...i left it as Paddy because i found the way they pronounced it against USA amusing. Clearly it was "Paddy Mills playing for the Horsies". (In Australian, Patty Mills playing for the Aussies)

Sorry if that went over anyones head, i probably should have commented on that in the opening thread.
 
Re: Patrick Mills Season Progress Thread

Updated 2 more games for St Marys in the first thread.

Also worth mentioning that another Aussie, AJ Ogilvy, is having a great sophomore season as well for my favorite College team, Vanderbilt:

27 Minutes
15.3 Points
6.6 Rebounds
2 Blocks

He put up better numbers last year when Vanderbilt was winning more games, hope this doesn't hurt his draft stock.

Mills is still putting up 20 ppg and St Mary's are 8-1, leading their conference.
He's been a bit shallow in apg and rpg though but I guess as long as they are getting the W.

by FG% and turnovers it looks like he's being honed in on by defenses and he's turning the ball over a bit if not shooting a rough percentage..
 
I dont know if there is a thread for this bloke so sorry if I started this when I could have posted it somewhere else, but did anyone just see that college game between St Mary's and St Clara on ESPN and the clutch 3 pointer Patty Mills hit with 2.6 seconds to go? 31 points to not bad considering how he was shooting from behind the arc.

Was it just me or did anyone else jump of the couch yelling when he nailed that three? Awesome game to watch. A lot more entertaining then a lot of NBA games I might add as well..... go the boy from down under.....

Anyways, had to get that off my chest, no one here to share it with so you all had to put up with it....:lol::lol::lol:

btw: final scores were St Mary's 63 St Clara 62.
