Australian big man Jonah Bolden has decided to sign a three-year deal with Israeli ball club Maccabi Tel Aviv.

After the Philadelphia 76ers drafted him at No. 36 in the second round of the NBA Draft last month, Bolden was allowed by the club to play elsewhere and allow him to develop his game further.

Bolden had a very impressive display at the NBA Summer League. The versatile forward can guard wings and centres, but he was mainly used as a five on both ends of the court.

Bolden suited up for FMP Belgrade of Serbia in the Adriatic League earlier this year, where he averaged 12.9 points and 7.2 rebounds while draining 41.9% of his three-pointers.

His new deal with Maccabi is also expected to have multiple NBA buy outs, giving the 76ers exclusive negotiating rights.

This arrangement eases up the logjam in the Philadelphia 76ers roster.

The NBA club already have Joel Embiid, Kahlil Okafor and Richaun Holmes manning the middle, while the forward spots are filled up featuring talented wings Dario Saric and Robert Covington, last year’s No. 1 pick and fellow Aussie Ben Simmons, Alex Poythress and new signing Amir Johnson.

Finally, what about the firing of the Lion? Come on, JvG, inquiring minds want to know! But seriously, he meant a lot to many people at the club. Or maybe just to one now-grown-up little girl for whom he is irrevocably tied up with many, many fond memories of ‘90s blimp prizes and the glorious championship days. But I’d bet I’m not the only one.

Ben Simmons; shot free throws in sneakers, had an exam of being a point guard in practice

Bucks’ Matthew Dellavedova has turned his time away into production

PORTLAND, Ore. — When Patty Mills got off to a slow start this season, some observers linked it to the burden of living up to the high expectations that accompanied the four-year, $50 million extension the Spurs gave him last summer. But coach Gregg Popovich recently offered another theory, saying the demands he has placed on Mills have affected the play of the ninth-year reserve point guard. “It’s been tough for him,” Popovich said. “I’ve been playing him at point guard and on the wing…
