One of Adelaide's finest ever basketballers finally gets his shot. I had expected he would go to Philadelphia but happy to see him go to the Clips instead.

With 34 y.o. Matt Barnes and 35 y.o. Hedo Türkoglu as his primary competition for minutes at SF, I think he's got a good chance of becoming a solid part of the rotation. Can play SG as well.

He doesn't force things on offense, good passer, can handle the ball and a decent defender. His role with LA could be similar to the one he had with Maccabi Tel Aviv last season - a contributor off the bench. Can't wait to see him out there.

With Brock Motum apparently signing a guaranteed 1 year deal with the Jazz last month, just need Aron Baynes to get a contract somewhere and there will be 8 Aussies in the NBA.

Andrew Bogut
Patty Mills
Aron Baynes
Matthew Dellavedova
Dante Exum
Brock Motum
Cameron Bairstow

I am really rooting for the Clips to sink this year. I know its a long shot, but something similar to the Knicks this year.
I know some of you are rooting for Ingles, and I mean no disrespect, but I really hope he's the Anti Christ(watched the Omen3 last night).
I can't help it I am greedy and want a lottery pick out of this.

lol, I'd like that draft pick to be decent as well but you're dreaming if you think it has any chance of being in the lottery - barring a season ending injury to Paul or Griffin.

If you're the future Celtics owner I'd love for the current Clippers owner to go to your place and enthusiastically tell you Joe Ingles is not the 'Anti Christ'  ;)
