Talk:Patty Mills

Youngest Boomer ever?
I know the references say Mills is the youngest ever Boomer, but I don't believe it. Mills debuted on 31-July-2007, which made him 11 days short of his 19th birthday. But I think Andrew Vlahov (b. April 1969) and Mark Bradtke (b. September 1968) debuted at the age of 17 or 18. This reference says Vlahov debuted in 1987, which means he debuted at younger than 18 years 9 months, which makes him younger than Mills was. More to follow... Peter Ballard (talk) 05:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC) (Edited to fix math).

I'll add that I don't believe that Mills' college games were broadcast live on Australian TV either, despite a ref saying so. Peter Ballard (talk) 06:39, 22 August 1908 (UTC)
 * ESPN showed his games, sometimes live. Because the WCC is in such a late timezone they are live at about 4pm AEST. mightymouseman —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.72.251.107 (talk • contribs)

Even more reliable than the Canberra Times reference above, here is an Australian Institute of Sport reference saying Vlahov and Bradtke debuted in 1987. I'll change the article shortly. Mills definitely wasn't the youngest Boomer ever. Peter Ballard (talk) 06:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Page is Untidy
This page should be neat. For someone as important to Australian basketball as Patty is, can't we find a picture? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.72.251.107 (talk • contribs)

Trail Blazers
Isn't he still under contract with the Trail Blazers? --Christomir (talk) 12:19, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * He was listed as a restricted free agent here. Zagal e jo^^^ 02:15, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Hmm, that makes it very interesting for players like him going to Europe right now. Since their NBA team still has some control over them, should we consider a player like that still a member of that team, while playing in Europe during the lockout?

 * (Sorry, I missed this reply.) I don't really know how we should handle this. But I think, for the sake of simplicity, it might be better to just list him as a current member of one team. Zagal e jo^^^ 06:12, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Understatement
"one of the first Indigenous Australians to play basketball in the NBA" - isn't this a bit of an understatement? He's obviously the first to ever come close. Adum (talk) 04:14, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
