It’s time for Max Bryant to get a spot in the Aussie team…he has been great with the Heat for the last 3-4 years and he is much better than Stoinis and David , they’re just not stable enough

It’s been a long time coming for Max Bryant, but his talent has always been there. Hopefully this is a great start for him. I always thought he was a clone of Alan Finch.
