OMG looks like AJ Ogilvy has some personal issues with Andrej Lemanis. He has been virtually blocked from any Boomers squad despite performing strongly in the NBL (currently leading the League in Blocks per Game). Rhys Martin is another one which probably should get a call-up. He is unlikely to make the final squad, but can be used as a good training player.

In the past I would have agree that was the only reason he missed out on even making the training squads but recently his form has been inconsistent at best & occasionally terrible. For a guy his size, his rebounding is terrible & he is not a consistent scorer. The Hawks seem to do better when he's off the court. I expect attitude has a lot to do with it which is likely why Lemanis keeps giving him a big miss.

Can't agree with you mate, Ogilvy is in the Top 10 RPG this season, behind only Daniel Johnson among the Australian bigs. His offensive output this season might not be as good as before, but his defense is still outstanding.

I don't know when you last looked but his rebounding is down too. Looking at his minutes for the Hawks, I'd say Bevo has some issues with him as well. I'd still have him in my Boomers team ahead of Brandt but there are several other players I'd be replacing too.
