Our duo in Final Four
TweetBACK-to-back NBL Rookies of the Year - Joe Ingles 2007, Nathan Jawai 2008 - are heading to London and the Final Four of the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Championship.
The duo, plying their trade at Barcelona Regal, played their parts in the 64-53 Game 5 win over Greek side Panathinaikos Athens, to clinch the series 3-2.
An NBL championship winner with South Dragons and a Beijing and London Olympian, Ingles had eight points, seven rebounds and two assists as a wingman.
Centre Jawai, a rookie sensation at Cairns Taipans who even wracked up a couple of NBA appearances, scored nine points on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting, six rebounds and blocked three shots.
CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid, with one-time Sydney Kings import Dontaye Draper, have qualified for London.
Olympiacos Piraeus (Greece) and Anadolu Efes (Turkey) play a deciding fifth game to determine the fourth and final competitor in London from May 10-12.
