Might be worth noting he is coming from Australia and almost certainly was not getting the type of nutrition and weight training most of the AAU kids are receiving. Even that young its a full blown regiment in the states.
That's one of the worst, most ill-informed comments I've seen on this site.
Furphy has come from The Australian Institute of Sport - one of the world's greatest high-performance centres. It was originally set up to increase Australia's medal count at the Olympics about 40 years ago. Every aspect of their diet, strength and conditioning, and education is monitored. It would be better than anything in the NBA and Colleges.
I've seen what Americans eat in general, and see a lot online what NBA, college, and high school players eat. The average Australian eats healthier than top American athletes. The players on scholarship to the AIS would have the best nutrition available in the world.
