I thought Pero retired internationally.

Where will this camp be taking place do you know Isaac?

The Kings School in Parramatta, Aug 18-22.

Anon, he signed with them recently.

Anyone else interested to see if Majok can actually play or if it's all a bit of hype?

So who will make the team?

- Wortho in exchange for Barlow who has headed to Europe already.
- I reckon Harvey to step into the side in place of Cadee and Newley in for Crawford
- Does Maric get a guernsey in place of Nevill or Baynes?
- Does Dellavedova stay in the team as the backup PG?

My team from the list of available players:

Maric / Ogilvy / Nevill
Jawai / Worthington
Ingles / Forman / Weigh
Newley / Harvey
Gibson / Dellavedova

Both Baynes and Ogilvy can play PF and C. Ogilvy is a better all-round player than both Nevill and Baynes. Ogilvy has the best post game of the lot and both he and Nevill can also hurt teams from the outside whereas Baynes is a better defensive option and is more limited in offense.

Forman deserves to kleep his palce after a great South American tour, and I reckon Delly will hold his place due to the lack of quality senior PG's available and the promise he showed in Sth America.

This team will be good enough to get over the line against New Zealand. Shutting down Penney will be the key (as always).

UConn head coach Calhoun would not have pushed for Majok to remain at school if he didn't think he would be any good. However as he has yet to even play one college game yet, there is zero chance in him being selected to oplay against NZ. A development opportunity more likely.

Could it be a ploy to ensure that he represents Australia down the track instead of being "poached" back by his native Sudan should he prove a hit? Maybe it is also a bit of a publicity stunt? ...who knows!

LC, not Martin ahead of Dellavedova though he seems to have gone alright in South America?

If Rush is definitely available, he could steal that spot from Oscar? Worthington is the other SF/PF.

Hard to know how Baynes went on the tour - seemed to struggle with foul trouble a bit.

That's a pretty young Boomers squad.
I think it'll be a close 2 games between the two.
Not sure about the BA press release but I'm pretty sure Bradshaw won't be playing and is heading to Sth Korea this weekend.
Should be a good series either way.

Martin could get a gig for sure. I reckon Oscar will hold his palce after a good showing in Sth America despite his injury niggles.

Baynes plays physical and was known to pick up some fouls now and then in college hoops. He has a big strong body and uses it - he has a rep for playing good D in the interior although he is not a renown shot blocker. I'm not sure if he can hold his place against the likes of AJ who oozes class and is well polished, and Aleks Maric who has a little more experience and is a more rounded player.

Good move by Basketball Australia to include Ater Majok in the squad. Get him in there early to ensure he will chose to play for Australia in a few years when he is a very good player

Not quite. Penney is one of the best players in the league, if not the best. Newley is quality, but he gets beaten at that spot.

Then, I don't know if you could give Jawai that big an advantage over a very experience and strong Pero. Jawai's advantage is his combination of size and speed, but Pero has the same pairing IMO.

I do think Gibson is usually underrated and is clearly superior to Tait.

NZ starts to drop off the pace after their starters though.

How many games in the series?
