Australian Junior teams announced
Anon^, those guys you listed as unavailable were exactly that, unavailable. There were others who were overlooked that would have helped us against NZ and they were available. Also have to agree that we relied too much on our three point shooting and not enough on rim protection and selecting some more bigs against the Kiwis should have been a priority.

The team we could have had would have put us on the podium at worlds. Pity all those guys overseas couldn't make oceanias.
No McDowell-white, Stattman, Humphries, Gak, Froling, Maker, Epperson, Kiir

Glover and his air balls hurt us!!!

Well, not going big against NZ has hurt us in the past, hopefully it won't this time anon........

Really stupid not having another big to go against Whittaker of nz.

Josh green, Henry makeny, makur maker etc could possibly be added in the next phase? The u18 asia champs.

We should qualify this time round...

Bowen is a revelation. Been playing with Shawn Redhage in his State League team and you bet he's learnt a few things. Needs to get some meat on him.

women's team is very strong.
talent goes pretty deep for those born in 2000.

If team had 12 then Dent and Stoddart in.
Best 10 picked so well done to who ever selected or involved.
Glad to see they awarding teams that win at nationals and not the states who finish 6th -12th.

Fiba may have also listed the other players going for u17 spots.
Girls
Anstey, Bayliss, fowler, Gould, hurst, Thompson.
Boys
Armstrong, beard, clarke, Dent, Fakira, Stoddart.

The heights are off the list that BA provides.
If they are wrong, then it's there fault or the states that provide the information.

Only one in the squad not heightening appears to be Shelley. Seriously, I know the yanks quote their heights in kicks plus an inch, but do we really need to start doing the same?

No camp. Very unusual. I thought that Bloom would make the team after AJCs.
George 6'1?? I thought she was taller than that.

Darcy Rees is 194cm, so pretty close to 6'5.

Was there an actual squad that went into camp, or did they just pick the team?
Very unusual!

Match up with the Marshall Islands looms as a huge game for the girls team, make or break, do or die in this clash of traditional rivals!
Oh, by the way Rees isn't close to 6'5",

Boys team is what I thought It would be.
Girls team was a little surprising with puli and George being selected.
Thought maybe bloom and Motuga following ajc u18s.

You are correct.
