WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
The tournament has played host to some of Australian basketball’s household names in recent years, and this year’s tournament will be no different.
US college-bound stars like Victorian duo Bonnie Deas and Luke Fennell and Queensland star Teyahna Bond will add plenty of starpower to the event.
But all eyes will be on a Victorian tearaway with a pretty hefty lineage to live up to.
Dash Daniels, the younger brother of Atlanta Falcons NBA star Dyson Daniels, will take the court for Victoria fresh off signing a Next Stars deal with Melbourne United.
The Victorians will be under pressure to perform on the national stage after taking home all four national titles in Ballarat last year.
They have put together four star-studded line-ups for the Under-20s championships with Deas leading a team featuring Emilija Dakic, Sienna Harvey and Manuela Puoch while Daniels will be joined by Centre of Excellence talents Che Brogan, Mading Kuany, Sa Pilimai and Marcus Vaughns.
South Australia will bring plenty of confidence into the tournament after they took out the Under-18s titles last year with top talents Alex Dickeson, Deng Manyang, Rio Bruton, Coco Hodges, Sienna Lehmann and Chelsea Portus all set to pull on the red this month.
Bond, who has committed to the University of Hawaii for the next NCAA season, will lead a Queensland side featuring three players from the recent Australian Schools Championship-winning Brisban State High side.
Prasayus Notoa, Sharni Reisinger and Alleah Hanson will all pull on the maroon, while the Queensland boys squad features plenty of firepower in the form of Roman Siulepa, Emerson Juhasz and slick guard Indy Cotton.
