Three tahitians players were selected in the Oceania All-Stars team after the 2006 FIBA Oceania Youth Tournament: Kevin Avvenenti, Larry Teriiemataua and Rahititiarii Teriierooiterai. The team made a tour in Australia and played in the U20 Nationals against the best australian players born in 1988 and 1989.
The Oceania All-Stars were unable to win a single game in Australia but the tahitians should have learn a lot in this tournament. The both enjoyed a big playing time. Avvenenti was one of the best scorer of the team despite the strong australian defense, Teriierooiterai did a good job in the paint while Teriiemataua showed some interesting skills.
