Joe Ledley Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.Three-time NBA champion Luc Longley believes Patty Mills deserves to be a starting point guard at San Antonio - or elsewhere.Mills, a back-up to Tony Parker at the Spurs, has been one of the standouts in the mens basketball competition at the Rio Olympics.Not only has he been Australias top point scorer, he is second in the tournament for points per game with an average of 21.2.He banked a game-high 24 points in the Boomers 90-64 demolition of European powerhouse Lithuania to secure them a spot in the semifinals and a chance to break their Olympic medal duck.Mills sunk five of 11 from the three-point line and missed just one inside.You get him looks and its money, said Boomers assistant coach Longley.The shots hes missing are the tough shots at the end of the clock.Mills has proved his worth over the years, but Longley believes he has well and truly stamped his mark at the Rio Games.Theres no doubt hes a first team point guard or two man somewhere in the NBAA, he said.dddddddddddd.Hes just been in a very deep and talented situation at San Antonio.Hes very potent for us. He makes a lot of room for the big guys by being so potent.Mills is the man behind setting Australias goal of winning gold in Brazil.His leadership on and off the court has been inspiring, according to coach Andrej Lemanis, and is driven by his desire to proudly represent his country and heritage on the world stage.The thing I appreciate the most with him - everyone sees his offence but hes really got into his defence at this tournament, said Lemanis.Hes prepared to sacrifice for the good of the team.We all see when he scores, but he goes through the video and he sets screens to get other people open.Hes prepared to do work for others as others are prepared to do work for him. Thats what makes the team hard to guard. ' ' '
