Greece (The Real One) Beat New Zealand By 99 - 69

Maybe it's good that the real Greek team didn't come to Australia..........

Don't think you can read too much into that Jack, the NZ team is fairly poor. I imagine we would beat them by about the same margin.

NZ's best player in that series was a 17 year old Webster. Casey Frank played major minutes. I think we would have been ok against the real greek team on home soil.

New Zealand are arguably just as weak as the Greek B team right now...

They just lost to Nigeria over night 74-66 at some pre-qualifying tournament.
Nigeria had Al Farouq Aminu of the New Orleans Hornets in their line up and lead the scoring with 16.

Forget King James, Al Farouq Aminu really is a King

Nigeria 74 (Al Farouk 16, Ugbouja 10)

New Zealand 66 (Lindsay Tait 10, Mika Vukona 10, Alex Pledger 10)

NZ need to finish top 3 in next weeks qualifier but thats going to be difficult without injured, Kirk Penney & Abercrombie.
They play Macedonia on Monday and Angola Tuesday.

Only the top 3 out of 12 teams will win a place at the olympics. tough (impossible) ask without Penney.

Russia
Macedonia
Lithuania
Greece
Dominican Republic
Puerto Rico
Venezuela
New Zealand
Angola
Nigeria
Jordan
Korea

I thought Angola was already in as a perennial qualifier like our own Boomers. I hope New Zealand, Korea amd Jordan qualify. Just to boost our own chances.

Dominican Republic does not have a good team just because they have NBA players and an NCAA coach. Not when compared to those top European teams.

Frank shot the three pointer better than any Boomer at the last worlds and last years Al Ramsay series - he hit 9 out of 17. The only thing that is useless here is your ability to research.

@green98

yeah that's true but you would have to say it's a pretty good recipe for a good team.
