SLEEPY Murray Bridge, about an hour's drive from Adelaide, will burst to life this weekend when CLB3X3 stages an event there after recently rocking Mackay and Townsville.

The historic two inaugural FIBA3X3 events for CLB in the Quensland cities produced a total of 515,887 ranking points to event participants, highlighting some very significant changes to the 3X3 landscape.

For starters, Australia moved into #33, now only one ranking spot behind 3X3 go-getters New Zealand.

Australia's No.2 ranked player Tim Keating (126,500) closed the gap on No.1 ranked Andrew Steel (137,250).

Our No.1 ranked female, Carlie Smith, held her No.7 ranking in Australia overall, moving within 72 points of the No.6 spot. Her inclusion in the 2018 FIBA3x3 Asia Cup could see Carlie move into the Top 5.

London Olympian and former NBL star Peter Crawford moved up to No.14, knocking on the door of the Top 10.

Talented tyro Harry Froling - expected to play NBL next season with Adelaide 36ers - made his 3X3 debut with Townsville Suns and Alexandra Fowler (U18 FIBA 3X3 World Cup player) also suited with Townsville Suns' women's team.

That's Townsville's Suns shining (right).
