Even go back as far to the 2007 FIBA Under 19 World Championships.

Goulding averaged like 4ppg and 4rpg and was 5/30 from 3!

Gliddon averaged like 2 or so ppg.

BTW, Australia should have won that tournament. 8-1 record. Ogilvy was an absolute BEAST

Haven't watched this group play, but I wouldn't be surprised to not see kids with flair or x-factor.

The Under 19 group tends to have a culture of team basketball. They play with fundamentals, they share the rock and play 'smart'/'safe' basketball.

I remember the Under 19 Emus at the World Champs.

Dellavedova never really stood out and averaged 10 ppg. Cadee averaged like 9 or so ppg. Young averaged 8 ppg as well.

All those players are now professional. And one plays in the best league in the world.

Same with the following Emus' group.

Scoring was generally really well spread. You could never really pick who was going to be a star (Except for a few games here or there).

A guy like Daniel Trist who hardly set the scoring department alight whilst with the Emus is now averaging 14.8ppg and 5.7rpg at a D1 School.

The Emu's style of play is geared towards team basketball.

Put them in a different style and they flourish individually. But the Emus style is successful and has being successful in placing the Aussie U19 team as one of the best teams in the world year in year out.

I'll be honest, when I saw guys like Drmic and Greenwood play at the 2010 AST i thought "These guys are overrated".

But you play against them and you realise they can flat out play with the best of them. It's just that when they are in that environment that isn't necessarily their role.

They could go for 30. But they want to win. Credit where credit is due they have a winning mentality.

You have 3 guys who will be getting CoE scholarships yet they have no talent. I think they have a bit of talent maybe a little. They would all be u17 because there worlds is in 2015.
