NZL v LTU

The Fact that KP wasn't able to fire at all during the tournament was a contributing factor in the Tall Blacks failing to advance. But it was great to see the younger guys pick up the slack.

"Put Adams, Pledger and Te Rangi in this team and they are a quality international outfit."

Yep with Adams and Pledger.

But what we got out of Fotu was more than what we would have got from Te Rangi IMO.

Tai Webster - Age 19
Corey Webster - Age 25
Reuben Te Rangi - Age 19
Isaac Fotu - Age 20
Steven Adams - Age 21

That's a good looking team with a lot of upside . Who could potentially play for the Tall blacks for the next decade

Big call. But say we had Adams.

We might be sitting in the hotel room in a few days about to play a semi final at the World Champs.

We would have beat LTU and could have got past Turkey.

Interesting to see that Rob Loe has been picked up by Greek outfit KAO Dramas.

Hopefully he develop an inside game playing against the bigs in Europe.

Can't agree - Ball down under is no where near Europe, we are getting closer though

Am I the only one that saw the Lithuania defender clearly two feet over the baseline on the inbound after Lithuania's fourth team foul in the final quarter?

Our Kiwi bros got rough calls in 1st, armchair ride in 2 & 3 and back to tough calls in last few minutes.

They are gone now (I think)

Very nice.

Lithuania are idiots though, just jacking up poor 3's....V kills them whenever he gets it but they go 2 or 3 trips without even getting him a touch.

With two Vic teams playing off in the NBL finals series it is interesting to note the lack of talented young Victorians in their teams. Dragons have Worthington (WA), Ingles (SA) Gibson (Tas). Melb have Daniel Johnson (WA) thenm throw in imports, veterans and there are not many minutes left.

Where are all the players from this vintage who won National Champs?
