Tall Blacks Trials 2013

4 players aren't Kiwi's, Corletto & Bruton + 2 Imports. Most of the NZ contingent are from Auckland also apart from I think Pledger and Bloxham.

I'd take neither of them.
TallBlacks weakest position is currently PG until Tai Webster gets a few College games under his belt.

Where is Marcel Jones???

Hopefully they don't go with Frank as the naturalised player...Don't really see his value anymore.

Tait/Webster
Abercrombie/Bartlett
Jones/Te Rangi
Vukona/Anthony
Pledger/Loe

NZ and Australia are on the 2nd last line of the article.

New Zealand will prob get owned by a Boomers C team in this series.

Having Penney on the court free's up every other player offensively due to the attention he demands.
Without him Abercrombie will struggle to have any impact offensively with the Boomers athletic forwards having his measure.

#892 the reason for playing is to determine the seeding out of Oceania. This will then determine which side of the pool they are situated in. The premise is that the #1 seeded Oceania team should get a better group

I think the fact that there is no Penney will make things very difficult for NZ to win this series. I just dont think they have enough players who can pit in the whole on a regular basis.

Time will tell.

Tai Webster, Jordan Ngatai and Tom Vodanovich will be ones to watch as will Rueban TeRangi in the next couple of years.

Hear lots varying reviews on Jack Salt in regards to his talent ceiling.
I have paid little to no attention to the NZNBL this season sorry

Tall Blacks coach Nenad Vucinic's 19 trialists is a group more notable for the names not on the list than those that are on it.

Spurned Breaker Leon Henry has made himself unavailable.

Abercrombie, currently trying out in the NBA's summer recruiting period, is expected to be available for the subsequent tour to China and August's series against the Boomers.

Penney is taking this international season off, while Adams' priority will clearly be with the Oklahoma City Thunder as he endeavours to prove his worth ahead of the upcoming NBA season. Loe and Fotu both have summer school commitments in the US, while Webster is about to start at the University of Nebraska.

Vucinic has eight uncapped players among his 19 trialists, who will be whittled down to 12 to tour China, over two days of workouts. The China tour will lead into the Fiba world championship qualifying series against Australia.

Auckland schoolboy Salt is considered a big man of considerable potential, and is likely to be named one of the NZ Breakers' development players for their upcoming Australian NBL season.

Jordan Ngatai and Tom Vodanovich are heading to US colleges this year, while the others have impressed in the NZNBL for their respective teams.
