Here’s the latest iteration of the LA2028 Olympic Boomers Roster Tracker 🇦🇺🦘🏀 Prior to Johnny Furphy’s season ending knee injury, he had become a justifiable lock. Given his age, it seems far more likely than not that he’ll bounce back from the injury & earn a spot on the 2028 LA Roster. Perhaps it’s somewhat out of desperate optimism, but I have kept him in as a lock 🤕🙏🏻. Rocco Zikarsky also moves up into the “Pretty Likely” category after a truly impressive G-League campaign. It’s clear he’s put on some size & strength, but it’s his shooting that’s really taken a leap. Rocco is becoming a genuine stretch 5, and at 7’4, that is scary! Whether Rocco has developed into the force we hope he becomes by 2028 - or not, it would be silly not to include him, even just from a development perspective. Whether he’s the 2nd big or a developing 12th man, he should be included. Dante Exum takes a tumble down the list, purely due to injuries & uncertainty of where his body will be at age 33. If he’s healthy & doesn’t lose a step, it’s difficult to think he wouldn’t have a spot on this roster - but that’s a huge maybe. For very different reasons, Luke Paul, Nick Kay & Mitch Creek have all jumped up into the “On the Cusp” category. Luke Paul’s trajectory puts him on a path similar to Giddey in 2021 & Simmons in 2016 - a very young guard with a lot of potential but very limited experience. He will likely be battling for the spot with vets like Exum, Armstrong & Will Hickey. If this was Brian Goorjian, I would say Paul has next to no chance - but it’s not, and we could see Caporn take a different approach. Nick Kay is a player that proves time and time again that he’s loyal to the soil and can fit in on any team. It’s not to say he’s a shoe in, or even likely at age 35, but it would be wrong for me to count him out. Mitch Creek will be 37, and for a player who started his career with a dependency on athleticism, you would think his time playing for the Boomers had passed. However, Creek has developed into a knockdown shooter & is arguably in the best form of his career. I suspect his inclusion in the next Boomers qualifying roster is representative of his recent play - and a forcing of their hand to get him in the mix. HERE’S THE LIST: 🔒 Locks: • Josh Giddey - 25 • Dyson Daniels - 24 • Jock Landale - 32 • Tyrese Proctor - 24 • Johnny Furphy - 23 ⬆️🤕 🔓 Almost Locks: • Jack Mcveigh - 32 📈 Pretty Likely: • Lachlan Olbrich - 24 • Rocco Zikarsky - 21 ⬆️ 🌟 On The Cusp: • Nick Kay - 35 ⬆️ • Mitch Creek - 37 ⬆️ • Dante Exum - 33 ⬇️ • Luke Paul - 19 ⬆️ • Oscar Cluff - 26 • Austin Rapp - 23 • Angus Glover - 29 • Dash Daniels - 20 • Xavier Cooks - 33 • Taran Armstrong - 26 • Duop Reath - 32 • Josh Green - 27 • Jack White - 31 • Luke Travers - 27 • Will Magnay - 30 • Alex Toohey - 23 • Matisse Thybulle - 31 • Jaylin Galloway - 25 • Alex Condon - 23 • Reyne Smith - 25 🤔 Unlikely Right Now, But Maybe: • Jordan Hunter - 31 • Alex Ducas - 27 • Will Hickey - 29 • Dejan Vasiljevic - 31 • Ben Henshall - 23 • William McDowell-White - 30 • Elijah Pepper - 27 • Max Mackinnon - 24 • Jai Fa’ale - 19 ⬆️ 🧬 Too Old but Not Impossible: • Matthew Dellavedova - 38 • Brock Motum - 37 • Chris Goulding - 39 🌱 Too Young but Not Impossible: • Che Brogan - 22 • Jacob Furphy - 22 • Roman Siulepa - 22 • Alex Dickerson - 20 • Jongkuch Mach - 20 • Will Hamilton - 19 • Antonio Browne - 18 • Ajak Nyuon - 21 • Luke Fennell - 22 🎯 It’s A Long Shot: • Owen Foxwell - 25 • Sam McDaniel - 32 • Isaac Humphries - 30 • Sam Froling - 30 • Josh Bannan - 26 • Keanu Pinder - 33 • Jonah Bolden - 32 • Anthony Dell’Orso - 25 • Harry Wessels - 25 • Akoldah Gak - 25 • Tom Wilson - 31 🚫 Never Say Never… But Never: • Patty Mills - 40 • Kyrie Irving - 36 • Ben Simmons - 32 • Bryce Cotton - 36

@CaveThunk I don’t think that is a new revelation 😂 Kendric could be firing up Sydney too! I know what you’re saying though. Set up for a great game 3

@boomersfandom Yeah, but now he really dislikes Kendrick. As an Adelaide fan, the end of that game couldn't have gone any better.

@CaveThunk Bryce Cotton would give 100% either way. I don’t think it makes a difference - if that’s what you meant

@megsyharding @boomersfandom Thought Goorj summed it well in the presser.. media has been poking at it. KD obviously an emotional person. It’s the playoffs. Nothing serious, just tensions high.

@boomersfandom He's only being criticised because he went up to Bryce. Anyone else and they'd be eating it upm Besides, haven't they been pushing a rivalry/bitter enemies thing? Don't be surprised when this happens.

@boomersfandom Oh it’s entertaining as hell but it comes from a place of pure butthurt. The criticism and enjoying the drama both can coexist here
