Boom from the bench

BOOMERS coach Andrej Lemanis has lauded his team’s 12man depth after remaining undefeated in its FIBA World Cup qualifiers with a 24-point win over Japan on Monday night.

Lemanis said he had enough quality on his bench to play a high-pressure game for 40 minutes and in the end it was too much for Japan with Australia winning 82-58 in Adelaide.

“The other thing we certainly have is an ability to play all 12 players which enables us to maintain a level over the course of 40 minutes which starts to show at different times,” Lemanis said.
