He's out of New Zealand. From a 2012 article:
At 6’ 9” he is big enough to be a threat to down low, but what made him stand out from the other big men came in his ability to handle the ball, even leading the fast break on occasion. Along with this he showed the ability to shoot the outside jumper, displaying good range.
He appeared unfazed by pressure situations, drawing a foul from beyond the three-point line in the final second of the championship game, before heading to the line to drain the winning basket.
Milner-Smith also played in the New Zealand National League with the championship-winning Auckland Pirates, while also being invited to the New Zealand national team trials.
It’s hard to believe he’s only 16, and as the equivalent of an American high school junior this year, he’s only going to get better.
He was a key member of the New Zealand high school national champion Rosmini in 2011, a team which is the hot favourite to repeat.
Notice a common theme throughout this? The kid certainly knows how to win championships.
