U16 Nationals
Very, very scrappy plan from all teams so far. Tasmania look like they have sunk back to there normal position, no longer a top 4 threat! Looks like they might have just hit a patch of good players in the boys, as a Tasmanian I was hoping that the training programs had had something to do with it.... But maybe not!

What a disgraceful troll of a comment anon 360 -
"Most of these kids will either be having babies or working in Coles in five years so let them enjoy themselves without the pressure of hoop assassins who know the ins and outs of everything. This is not a massive life changing carnival, it's a fun experience and memories."
Having babies etc........
These kids are great young competitors most of who worked their butts off to get to Nationals , you are a " hoops assassin " with a comment such as that.
Many of you sit and judge teams and coaching groups with impunity , this is a great week for basketball generally , some will win , some will lose etc and guess what some of these kids probably work at Coles part time to help pay for their trip !!

Southern Pen played off for 15th/16th at classic - Say no more !!

Isaac Humphries has been labelled as an NBA talent by numerous state and national sources. Defined as someone who is ahead of Andrew Bogut development at this same time of Bogut's career.
I suspect the NSW Metro crew will need to look at how the U18's used Jonah Bolden and ensure the supporting cast is there to pick up the slack and ensure a gold medal.
On the women's side Anneli Maley (daughter of Paul Maley) will be one to watch. Could carry the VIC Metro girls all the way to the Finals.

They won the U16 boys summer season as well as having first and second in Div 2. The Truth has made a very good point. THe best teams should have the most players in the state team - not every team equally represented. Well said

SA Country girls look strong with 8 of the 10 playing metro ,so does that make it a second metro team ??
