The Tall Blacks are over the moon with news Australian NBA basketball star Andrew Bogut is all go for July's trans-Tasman series.
The NBA draft's number one pick has confirmed his availability for the Boomers in the four games series, which starts in Napier on July 12.
Two games are being played in Napier, with the other two in Hobart and Melbourne.
Tall Blacks guard Aaron Olson says he is looking forward to playing against one of the world's best younger players, especially in this part of the world.
He says it will be the perfect competition to face in the build up for the World Championships in August.
Olson remembers playing against Bogut a couple of years ago, so it will be great to see how much he has improved, having played a year in the NBA.
