Report Card: How Aussies fared in NCAA season

Australia’s impact on the US college basketball system continues to grow.

As the NCAA tournament prepares to tip-off on Wednesday AEDT, Code Sports Basketball has taken a look back over the season to see how Aussie men at Division 1 schools fared.

Several players have already been touted as NBA prospects while there’s no reason we might not see others back at home in the NBL in future seasons.

Here’s a look at how some of the young guns performed.

Oscar Cluff, South Dakota State

Transferred from Washington State at the start of the season. Super efficient around the ring, shooting 63.4 per cent, averaging 17.6ppg in his senior year. A double-double machine from the Sunshine Coast, Cluff sets screens which open the offence right up for his teammates.

Alex Condon, Florida

The West Australian has exploded in his sophomore season to rocket onto NBA Draft boards with some predicting he will be a first round pick. To date, he’s averaged 11.2ppg on 50.7 per cent shooting. He’s shown a fantastic ability to switch out onto guards and defend. He has a deal in place to join Collingwood’s AFL program in the middle of the year if his NBA dreams aren’t met.
