GLOBAL REACH: Georgetown Center Julius Halaifonua Impresses at U19 World Cup
Fans of the Georgetown Hoyas think they know Julius Halaifonua pretty well, despite his injury, but whether even the most faithful diehards could predict that Julius would be balling this summer is hard to tell. The starting center for New Zealand turned in some solid performances and showed off his efficiency. Heads are starting to turn.
Halaifonua averaged 10.6 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 2.0 APG, and 1.6 BPG in 19.3 MPG over 7 games (4-3) for the fourth-placed New Zealand squad. The Kiwis finished behind the USA, Germany, and Slovenia.
In case you had not heard, Ed Cooley made the trip.
