NBA Straya: Man they call 'Tins' is getting buckets

NBA Straya is Australia's favourite Daily NBA podcast.

Today's edition recaps in the most Aussie way possible all the Australians getting minutes in games over the weekend of December 14 and 15, 2024 including Ben Simmons, Josh Giddey, Johnny Furphy, Dyson Daniels, Josh Green as well as the DNPs of Jock Landale and Duop Reath.

Furphy's breakout game came against the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, December 5, 2024 when he had 12 points, seven rebounds and block in a 99-90 loss. All for of his field goals came from behind the arc — he went 4-from-8 — and 4-from-9 overall.

As a second-round rookie, Johnny Furphy’s performance aligns with expectations for a developmental player. While his minutes and role are limited, Furphy has demonstrated effort, flashes of shooting potential, and a reliable free-throw touch.
