By missing the quarterfinals, the Boomers fell well short of expectations at the FIBA World Cup, but coach Brian Goorjian puts the disappointing campaign down to to the team rebuilding and reshuffling its line-up.

He barely used Daniels — a three-point shooting, defensively minded NBA rookie — or veteran shooter Chris Goulding.
