Live stream: Jacob Furphy, Lachlan Brewer, Kye Savage line up for Tassie at BA U20's & Ivor Burge National Championships

Tasmania boasts three of the country’s highest-rated young players, but it’s an ability to come together as a team that is driving their BA U20s nationals campaign. See them LIVE from Tuesday.

They boast a three-headed monster, but Tasmania are banking on a strong team ethic to inspire their Basketball Australia U20 national championships campaign.

Plenty has been said about rising talents Jacob Furphy, Lachlan Brewer and Kye Savage, but Tasmania’s ability to come together as a group shone through when they claimed bronze in the U18 nationals two years ago.

A large number of the squad who will feature at Ballarat from Tuesday played in that tournament, where they were beaten in overtime by eventual champions Queensland South in the semis.

While it’s a tougher prospect this time around, everyone in Tasmania’s line-up has represented the state before.

Check out the LIVE STREAM schedule below.

Tasmania begins their campaign against NSW on Court 4 at 1pm (EDT) on Tuesday.

Smithton’s Furphy is an exciting playmaking guard who models his game on Oklahoma City weapon Josh Giddey.

Savage is a walking bucket in the back court, and the Northwest Thunder youngster averaged over 30 points per game at last year’s U20 tournament.

Kye Savage is a pointscoring machine.

There are plenty of strings to Savage’s bow.

Both players are members of Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence in Canberra, while Launceston’s Lachie Brewer recently agreed to terms with Sacramento State.

All three have represented Australia at World Cup level and were named in the top 12 of News Corp’s top 20 boys to watch at the national championships.

Tasmania’s speed and athleticism is expected to challenge their bigger opponents.

“We’ve got a whole bunch of boys in the group who won the bronze medal two years ago, and everyone in this team has represented the state before,” Tasmania coach Sam Adams said.

“That was a tough loss (to Queensland South two years ago), but it also signified how strong this group is.

“This nationals will be a bit harder, the states are all combined, so it’s going to be a little bit tougher to make a run, but these boys play the right way and it’s exciting to watch.

Jacob Furphy is set to be a key player in Ballarat.

“They’ve all been there before and understand they’ve got to abide to a role and sacrifice some things for team success.

“We’re going to be very undersized, but we were two years ago as well. To be honest, it’s business as usual for these guys, they’re used to that.

“Our bigs are really good, they play their hearts out. As long as they do that and we stay tight as a team, we’ll be OK.”

Adams said Brewer would play every position on court, depending on opponents and game situations.

“I hope it (move to Sacramento State) helps him take his game to the next level,” Adams said.

“He’s a great kid and always eager to learn and listen to coaches. Hopefully the college experience helps him push into the professional ranks.

Mr Versatile Lachie Brewer will play one through five.

“He will play for us one through to five. He’s Mr Versatile and a very strong, athletic person, so he’ll play a bit of everything for us and fill any gaps that need to be filled.

“The strength of the team is everyone is willing to sacrifice and play for each other, and not complain when they’re asked to play certain positions.

“They really understand playing for the state, and playing for each other. That’s the strength of the group.”

Adams believes that mindset will help players stand out to scouts who may be present.

“The better the team does, the better the outcome for individuals after the tournament,” he said.

“Two years ago we played great team basketball and those guys went on to make the world cup team.

“It’s important to remember we’re not just three players, we have a really good team.”
