Less than three weeks before the start of the World Cup, some nations with very large numbers are starting to part with certain elements, and this is the case of Australia. Third in the last Olympic Games, the “Boomers” were 18 at the start of their preparation camp, and they are only 15 since Sunday.
Coach Brian Goorjian has decided to part ways with Thon Maker, Keanu Pinder, and Sam Froling. Three players who will not join Melbourne this week when Australia will face Brazil, South Sudan and Venezuela, opponents of France on Monday evening.
“I have the greatest respect for Sam, Thon and Keanu and for their contribution here in Cairns. Both on and off the pitch, they showed the utmost professionalism.” reacted Goorjian. “There’s a reason they’re the best on the pitch and of course I’m disappointed that they can’t come with us, but they all respect the process and came to camp knowing what we all came looking. »
The next “cut” will be just as complicated because there are only beautiful people in the workforce, with a slew of NBAers: Xavier Cooks, Dyson Daniels, Matthew Dellavedova, Dante Exum, Josh Giddey, Chris Goulding, Josh Green, Joe Ingles, Nick Kay, Jock Landale, Will McDowell-White, Patty Mills, Duop Reath and Matisse Thybulle.
