The point is promoting the NBL. So direct your criticism there, not at Lemanis and BA.

It's a repeat of what was done between seasons last year. NBL sends a team to China to showcase the NBL to a potential tv audience. Gets Australian coach to coach the team and lets him use it as he sees fit to choose from whichever NBL players make themselves available.

Lemanis has capitalised by involving a bunch of players likely to be playing in the Boomers' games next month. The NBL is then using the Boomers' involvement as a marketing ploy to promote the tour.

BA has no role in this team and tour at all. If the NBL wasn't doing it, the players involved would be eating chips on the couch or playing in various local leagues about the place.

My bad, Australian basketball team, and according to Lemanis

which features seven members of the Boomers’ gold-medal winning team from the 2018 Commonwealth Games.

The tour will act as a lead-in to the Boomers’ FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifying window in June and July, and Lemanis is hoping to use the trip to China as a way to prepare much of the squad.

“The tour also enables us to expose a few new players to international competition such as Craig Moller. I’m excited to see how he performs after a breakout NBL season and I’m happy he’s getting an opportunity to taste international basketball,” he said.

“History has proven that players playing in quality international games improve their individual games and this will not only help those who get selected for the June qualifying window but all players for the upcoming NBL season.”

IMO I think they Harvey and goulding may have been what was lacking in the gold coasts defense and with the players they have atm there's enough shooters on the court without sacrificing penetration plays and reboundig effort. Thoughts?
