15-year-old in adult competition? Er... What do you mean by 'recently', did Boomers play in other games?

BTW this is the "Youyi Games" final roster against China not the one for Oceania championship

I know that Dante Exum is too young for a seniors NT.
He was probably the best of his team in the recent AIS tour and was invited to the Boomers camp.

According to ABC-Sport, the Australian National Team known as the Boomers could lose center Andrew Bogut not just through the indisposition of injury but as well as Insurance Matters where the National Basketball Federation have not struck an accord with Bogut's team, the Milwuakee Bucks with an insurance for the Oceania Olympic Qualifying Tournament where Bogut was supposed to play for the Boomers.

Thanks. I haven't been informed as of late about Drmic. While Greenwood, I totally forgot that he is a freshman at NM. I'll update.

One thing I have noticed is the larger number of Boomers players taking their talents abroad over to Europe or the USA which I believe is a great thing as our national league is not as strong as back in the 1990s and furthermore, the lads can be further exposed to international/ European style of play.
