Australian Boomers stalwart Joe Ingles is set to retain his place for Paris 2024 and play in a fifth Olympics while NBA defensive ace Matisse Thybulle has been left off the final roster.
Thybulle was a star for the Boomers at the Tokyo Olympics giving the team a defensive stopper and athletic presence off the bench, and it appeared he was set to be on the roster for Paris despite being far less effective at last year’s FIBA World Cup. But Ingles’ ability to get the ball moving and create out of the pick and roll helped them click back into action.Goorjian said post game that something in the third quarter made him and his coaches realise they needed to reconsider their team, and he referred to Ingles’ performance which saw him post four assists and four points in 16 minutes.
He has made good on those plans recalling Matthew Dellavedova for a fourth Olympics after he was overlooked for the World Cup. “He’s not shooting the ball well but Josh Giddey is getting him the ball, there is a better synergy between those two and Patty is in a really great place.”Ingles’ daughter Milla, sat courtside with his wife Renae and other family and friends during Tuesday’s game against China and she gave her dad a hug and kiss as he went past their seats at half-time.
