CHICAGO – DePaul's Flynn Cameron and New Zealand open the FIBA U19 World Cup this weekend with three games of pool play in Greece. New Zealand faces the United States on Saturday, Senegal on Sunday and Lithuania on Tuesday. The Junior Tall Blacks qualified for the World Cup last summer with a runner-up finish in the U18 Asian Championship in Thailand.

He followed that experience with averages of 4.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in seven games at the 2017 FIBA U19 World Cup.
