Given that 1. Newley is a lock for the '14 World Championships if healthy, 2. he is recently married, and 3. NZ aren't looking ultra-competitive, could Brad have voluntarily given up his spot for guys like Simmons and Exum?

I would hate to be in Lemanis's position: having to choose between these guys for a qualifier when you're looking to include the younger stars for long-term continuity.

Even without Bogut, Baynes, Newley, Jawai etc this should be a cracker of a series from the Boomers.

I hope Exum plays, he will run rings around NZ. idk but seems like our 4 position is quite weak, maybe simmons can play some although I think with Ando and Neville we will play small against NZ. Lets see if Joe is the focal point of our offence

Bairstow has really come out of his shell this offseason, expect him to be a big part off new mexicos team next season, i would love to see him start in this team. He is really underrated, very shattered that baynes is injured!!

Good win by the Boomers over Butler University 96-57.

Top scorers were Mills & Ingles with 17 each, Nevill 14 and Broekhoff with 12.

Sounds like a great debut by Broekhoff. With his ability to hit from long range, he should be a real asset

Sitiveni, I think the Petrie/ Bairstow combo should do well against NZ. I like the size and hustle those two bring.

I don't think our outside shooting is going to be much good with this team, but it should have enough firepower overall for the Kiwis.

Really looking forward to seeing what Exum and Simmons can do at senior level.

Beantown, ive only seen bairstow play once and he reminded me of cam trigger, a guy with the size but no athletic ability, he shot very poorly. maybe I saw his only bad game, but wasn't impressed with it. he didn't look like he passed well from the low block either. that's all from 1 game though so not really in any position to judge a guy, im sure you have seen plenty of him. Good luck to all of them in the team.

You are correct sitiveni, you cannot judge a player by one game. For Bairstow is absolutely nothing like Cam Tragardh.

Yes, outside shooting may be more about structures and opportunity than flat out banging it to a 50%+ high performance outside scorer I'd imagine, but the team offers plenty of offense I would suggest.

A few in there who will put up a long bomb or three and if someone is off they can switch it easily.

The strength of the team is the eveness and spread of talent I think...

Good to see NZ also looking at the Olympics by adding the young men like Jack Salt and Co.

Next couple of years will be very interesting on both sides of the ditch!
