Player Info

Tawhiri Cate is a guard for the New Zealand U16 national team, bringing experience and physicality to the backcourt. Born on February 20, 2009, the 17-year-old stands at 186 cm, giving him good size for a guard who can defend multiple positions. Cate's development within New Zealand's pathways has likely emphasized defensive intensity, decision-making, and the ability to play through contact. On a team that values pace and pressure, his role could involve being a primary on-ball defender, a secondary playmaker, or a slasher who attacks the rim. His age suggests he is a leader within the group, expected to set a tone with his effort and professionalism. Cate is another example of the well-rounded guards New Zealand consistently produces, aiming to make an impact on both ends of the floor for the Junior Tall Blacks.
