FIBA World Cup 2019: Top 5 individual performances from Day 6

#1 Aron Baynes - Australia

Aron Baynes impressed as Australia maintained its perfect start in China

In the build-up to the World Cup, Australia became the first team to defeat the USA since 2006, although many ruled out the prospect of the Boomers contending in China. However, the nation has replied to their doubters by starting with a 3-0 record for the first time in history. The Boomers managed to overcome Lithuania to maintain their perfect start, and while Patty Mills was once again impressive, Aron Baynes enjoyed the finest performance of his international career.

The Phoenix Suns star scored 21 points while shooting just over 50% from the field. Baynes also connected with three 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 13 rebounds. Six were offensive boards, and the veteran also came up with a block. The Australian’s appear a real threat, and Baynes has successfully shown his ability to make major contributions at both ends of the court.
