no but the fact that something is not deterministic would preclude the idea that 'basic physics says there is no free will'

Sorry but that is exactly what I meant: the world is a) either deterministic or b) partially deterministic and partially random (for example quantum), and in either of these cases there's no way you can construct free will agents.

Arguably the b) version is not simple physics, but that's what I meant.
