It gives the young up and coming kids like Shea Illi, Matt Freeman, Sam Timmins, Tai Wynyard an opportunity to taste a Senior Tall Blacks Tour with Mika Vukona and show what they can do whilst still having enough experience and talent on the court to be competitive.
Leon Henry offers more experience over TeRangi/Bailey and is versatile but may not be 100% after suffering a nasty facial injury in a fall during an NZNBL game this season.
It'll be a big ask for NZ to get a win with Australia's depth and especially at guard. Real shame Kirk Penney and Tai Webster aren't available to add some scoring punch behind Corey Webster and some capable ball handling skills to combat the full court pressure the Boomers guards will put on the NZ ball handlers all game.
