Yeah none of the current crop are really up to it (naturalized Americans)but if Braswell throws his hat in the ring he will get the spot for sure. Fotu in a fair few years may have a shot but at the moment he is better off concentrating on College

Isaac Fotu didn't hold a NZ passport early enough so has to play as a naturalized player under FIBA rules

pwned, he already dominated people his own size at the Adidas Nations. Against Tarczewski he had something ridicolous like 37 and 20. and vs. Nerlens Noel he had something like 24 and 12.

top 3 pick in the 2013 NBA draft.

hes way more fundamentally sound and more athletic than Dwight was at his age.

Pledger has been making a big impact in limited minutes and Loe has been impressive in the little I have seen of him.
I won't be surprised if Pledger becomes the dominant big man in the NBL in the next few years if he continues to develop at this rate.

When I saw Pledger and Loe, they came across as big and awkward.

If they've improved then that's good for NZ (and for us as we need good opposition to make us better).

Why's that Hoopie? Loe can step out and hit the 3 and Pledger has been playing great this season for the Breakers and is improving greatly.
Size has always been an issue for the Tall Blacks and these 3 players give them exactly that.
Seems Adams is living up to the hype @ Notre Dame Prep and someone has made a facebook page which gets updated regularly enough

Pledger and Loe aren't exactly impressive IMO.

Agree totally with Paul...but Australia aren;t exactly short of tall options though ourselves for 2014, with the likes of Bogut, Maric, Jawai, Ogilvy and more...
