Want to show Josh Giddey to you guys. He's one of Australia's brightest young prospects with legit NBA potential. Currently with the NBA Academy, believe with offers from Arizona, TCU, Iowa State, Utah, Rutgers, and more. I don't think the below footage really does him justice, I've seen better plays from him, but there's a few clips from National Champs, FIBA Oceania's, and NBL1 (2nd tier mens league in Australia where he's versed many current NBL (they play there in the off-season) and fringe NBL guys).

6'7 PG, exceptional feel for the game and great court vision. Can hit the 3 and has nice touch at the rim. A little bit more of an in depth breakdown can be found here (don't mind the Doncic comparison in the headline, just a bit of Australian homerism there from the author, not me) -
https://pickandroll.com.au/could-josh-giddey-be-australia-answer-luka-doncic/I'm super intrigued to see this guy at the next level of competition (sounds like it'll be the college route for him). He's dominated every-time he's suited up for National Championships or for Australia in junior FIBA events, and been a standout for the NBA Academy at all their events. Hopefully we'll see him at the Hoop Summit and in 2021 in FIBA u19's.
He's an average athlete, decent burst in the open court, plays functionally below the rim, and will need to improve his frame and physicality in time (physical archetype and overall game is much closer to a LaMelo than a Doncic), but his PG play is pretty exceptional, imo. He has great vision and execution as a passer, just a really smart, high feel guy, and I feel like at that size it's pretty rare.
Hasn't had much exposure up to this point but I would expect to see him hitting a lot of draft boards in time.
