U17 World Championships for Men

And this posted on FIBA.com from a Canadian perspective...

"What a great opportunity to face countries like Spain, Australia and host team Germany," head coach Roy Rana said after the draw took place.

"Spain, winners of last year's U16 European Championship in Lithuania, look to be the top-rated team in Group B. Australia, who took top honours at last summer's Oceanic U16 Championship, are also a side to be reckoned with."

And this nice little article posted on FIBA.com that includes quotes from Australian coach Guy Molloy.

Head coach Guy Molloy said it is hard to predict how his team will fare against their previously unseen opposition.

“It’s a bit of an unknown because it is the first World Championship for the U17 age group so we don’t have any prior knowledge of the opposition players,” he reasoned.

“You would assume that Spain will be the favoured team in our group as they are the number one seed out of Europe, and Germany, as the host nation, are going to make a very concerted effort to perform well. After that, it’s very hard to say.”

ASpan were the Euro U16 champions and hence would still be considered the team t beat in our group.

And yes, Australia have an outstanding record at junior world champs in the past. I totally concur that our ITC development pathways have playe sa big part of this in the past, and of course there is also the AIS for our old age groups as well.
