The duo from the Highlands will join the camp on March 26 to 27 in a bid to make the team for country NSW.

Lillian was stoked to find out she had been selected and said it wouldn't have been possible without the help of her coaches.

"It's a great honour," she said.

"This success is due to the tireless efforts of my coaches who have spent countless hours of their own time providing me with training.

"I'd particularly like to thank both Moss Vale and Illawarra Basketball Association for their ongoing support."

Lillian, who plays for the Illawarra Hawks, is a massive fan of Boomers co-captain Patty Mills due to his leadership on and off the court.

"He is a great role model through skill and attitude," she said.

"Off the court he continues to raise awareness for the indigenous people of Australia through social injustice campaigns and clean water access programs he provides to remote communities."

Asides from making the camp, she was also a part of the Basketball NSW State Performance Program, the development league, was captain for the u16 Illawarra Academy of Sport Basketball team and the Illawarra Hawks u16 Junior Premier League.

Ryder, like Lillian, was proud of his achievement because it gave him a chance to check out his level.

"I want to see what other basketballers are like and what the state wants," he said.

Basketball wasn't the sport the Moss Vale Magic started with, but now, it is his "number one priority".

"When I first started playing basketball, it was more for getting my body fit for soccer and footy," he said.

"I feel like it's a lot more skillful for most sports."

Ryder also idolises Patty Mills as he feels he is a good role model.

"No matter how good he is, he's not arrogant," he said.

The camp will be divided into five two hours sessions where there will be both offense and defensive drills including shooting, decision making and game play.
