Basketball: Teen rookie should get game time

Tall Blacks basketball rookie Jeremiah Trueman is poised to get some game time in tonight's opening international against the Boomers in Napier.

The 19-year-old has been named as one of 12 players who will wear the strip for tonight's game.

Trueman and Waikato's Ben Hill was plucked from near obscurity for the series.

Dillon Boucher and Hill are the two players rested by coach Tab Baldwin.
