Australia’s Under-17 men’s campaign at the 2025 FIBA Oceania Championship was defined by depth, versatility, and a steady production line of contributors across the rotation. While the tournament ultimately ended in disappointment against New Zealand, the broader body of work showcased a group with clear individual strengths, positional balance, and long-term upside.

Offensively, Australia received consistent scoring punch from multiple sources rather than relying on a single focal point. Jai Fa'ale emerged as the primary scorer, combining volume with efficiency, while Isaac Riddle’s interior finishing and Harry Cook’s elite rebounding anchored the frontcourt. Luke Paul’s tournament-best playmaking set the tone in the backcourt, giving Australia a reliable organiser capable of controlling tempo and creating opportunities for others.

Around them, the supporting cast played defined roles. Guards like Bailey Hanson and Koby Moir provided perimeter scoring bursts and defensive pressure, while forwards Billy McRae, Guer Bar, and William Hamilton contributed across multiple statistical categories when called upon. The group also featured strong interior size and rim protection through Harry Cook, Wieu Atuer, and Yahya Basaran, reinforcing Australia’s physical presence.
