The 7-footer helped New Zealand win fourth place in the international tournament
Georgetown Hoyas fans may feel familiar with Julius Halaifonua, even with his injury setbacks, but few could have foreseen the impressive summer he’s putting together. Serving as the starting center for New Zealand, Halaifonua has delivered strong performances and showcased his efficiency — and now, he’s starting to draw some serious attention.
Over seven games, Julius Halaifonua posted averages of 10.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.6 blocks in just 19.3 minutes per game, helping lead New Zealand to a fourth-place finish with a 4-3 record. The Kiwis trailed only the USA, Germany, and Slovenia in the standings.
In case you had not heard, Ed Cooley made the trip.
