Just to recap there are four Australians on team rosters for the 2009-10 NBA season. The are David Andersen with the Houston Rockets, Andrew Bogut with the Milwaukee Bucks, Nathan Jawai with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Patrick Mills with the Portland Trail Blazers.

David Andersen playing in his first season in the NBA is currently averaging 5.8 points per game and 2.5 rebounds from his first 10 games with the Rockets. His standout game came yesterday when he scored 19 points in a 101-91 which is a career high total.

Patrick Mills is yet to play this season as he is on the injured list after he underwent surgery to repair the fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot on July 13, 2009. Patty as he prefers to be called comes from my hometown of Canberra, Australia. The Trail Blazers lost their most recent match against Atlanta Hawks to have an 8-4 record.
