Basketball Victoria’s general manager of high performance Grant Wallace is looking forward to seeing talent continue to emerge.

“We are excited by the depth of talent that Victoria keeps producing. There were some tough decisions to make, as all the athletes worked hard during the trials and left it all out on the court during this preparation” Wallace said in a statement.

“We will play a competitive and exciting brand of basketball and look forward to continuing the successful traditions of Victorian State Teams”
