Honourable Mentions

Joe Ingles

Hometown: Hope Valley, SA

Current Team: Regal FC Barcelona (Spain –  ACB)

Former Teams: South Dragons (NBL)

Last week’s POTW Joe Ingles continues to fill up the stat sheet with powerhouse Regal FC Barcelona‘s (29-5). In their 77-71 victory over 12th-ranked Assignia Manresa (15-19)  in the Spanish ACB, Ingles had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Regal FC Barcelona (29-5) finished third in Euroleague competition however is still ranked first in the ACB and looking strong. This was his team’s tenth consecutive victory in a row.

Daniel Kickert

Hometown: Kew, VIC

Current Team: PGE Turow (Spain –  ACB)

Former Teams: St Mary’s (NCAA), Gran Canaria (Spain – ACB),  CB Breogán (Spain – LEB)

As Daniel Kickert hopes to make his first Australian Olympic team he certainly isn’t doing himself any damage with great performances like this during his stay in Poland. Kickert has been a huge contributor to the team this season and as PGE Turow (2-8) won 98-94 against second-ranked Trefl Sopot (6-4) he recorded 19 points in 33 minutes. The Polish league has only just begun but will have to miss Kickert’s performances when he soon takes time off for Olympics trainings shortly. Kickert has great stats so far this year, averaging 14.9ppg, 4.3rpg and 1.1apg.

Steven Markovic

Hometown: Sydney, NSW

Current Team: Radnički Kragujevac (Serbia –  Serbian/Adriatic League)

Former Teams: West Sydney Razorbacks (NBL), Crvena Zvezda (Euroleague)

This was not the typical performance we’d have here for our International Player of the Week, however with the majority of the European teams into their offseasons and many Aussie’s on their way back home due for Boomer’s try outs, there aren’t as many active Aussies playing right now. But no disrespect to Steven Markovic who had 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in his team Radnicki Kragujevac (4-7) loss to powerhouse Partizan (9-2) 82-76. Markovic is a talked do-it-all player who is always on the Boomers radar. Expect to hear him mentioned more here in our POTW section. Markovic currently averages 7.8ppg, 1.5rpg and 3.9apg.

    The possibility of an NBL expansion team in Geelong has gained momentum, with league owner Larry Kestelman confirming the city is a strong candidate—provided it can secure a suitable venue. However, much like we outlined in an article a number of years ago, How the Geelong Supercats could return to the NBL within 3 years, the missing piece isn’t just a stadium, but a real estate-backed development plan to make the project financially viable.
