WESTFIELDS Sports High School student Greg Chaplin and Nemanja Kovacina, Milos Prilic and Dejan Marjanovic from KK Obilic have made the final cut for the Sydney Kings Youth Elite program.

Co-ordinator John Young said talent scouts searched the state for the best players aged 17 - 19 who were trialed for two weeks.
The best 20 are now in training camp.
Mr Young said: "The kids we've identified will have future in the NBL and we want them a part of the Sydney Kings organisation."
"We've had offers already from US college
teams to play and we just have to finalise
games; it's all down to identification and exposure for the players."
Young said Chaplin, 17, of Prairiewood, was 		an outstanding and well-rounded athlete.
"For all players, if they perform up to expectations bigger things will come," he said. 		"They've been working hard for the past four years to get this opportunity. Hopefully this will set a precedent for a few other juniors coming up".
