Nathan Jawai ( Aussie Shaq)
This dude is a beast hes only 20,21 plays in the NBL (Australian Leauge) just saw him he got 20points 18boards and 3 blocks vs the Syndey Kings (keeping in mind the Syndey Kings drew 79-79 with Team China who had Yao Ming and Yi and were up by 10 with a 1 min to go before the home team china go some wack calls)
They call him the Aussie shaq but hes more like Nene about 6'8/6'9 110-120kgs very athletic extremly quick for his size and massive wingspan. The dude attend the AIS over here and is just a flat out beast and the NBL comp here is solid without be amazing i would say about 5% below euro comp. The guy can make nifty passes and posses a natural understanding of the game which i was most impressed with he is also the cousin of fellow aussie trying to make the NBA Pat Mills whos attending St MAr's college i beleive. If this dude is not selected to play for Australia in Bejing i will be shocked he at worest can come off the bench after Sam Mackinoon and Chirs Anstey i would rate him above Chris Anderson he would give the team something they have never had before a talented and athlete centre who can bang. |

Re: Nathan Jawai ( Aussie Shaq)
Never heard of him before but I'm really intrigued now. Is there any clips or video footage of him playing?

Re: Nathan Jawai ( Aussie Shaq)
Was he decent? I was just looking at some pics of him and he even looks like shaq. On draftexpress.com he is listed at 7'0" as well and like 128kg. Freakin' massive.
