Sorry if this is old news or if I missed something but why isn't Schenscher in that team?

I assume he didn't make himself available. Was in the States last I heard. A number of others have retired from international play or are presumably resting this off-season - e.g., Worthington.

Pigs, yeah, National Team, but whether Yao or Yi are there remains to be seen.

Remember that the invitational team last year was competitive (refs had an influence on the game I was there to see) with a team that had everyone bar Yao. That team was: Carter, Crawford, Forman, Vanderjagt, Burston, Tragardh, Ng, Loughton, Knight, Tovey.

This team is missing Vanderjagt, Burston, Tragardh, Ng, Loughton, Tovey; but adds Gibson, Harvey, Hill, Holmes, Jawai, Maric, Martin, Weigh.

Arguably, it's a better team going over this time.

Bruce is also in the US, recently married and spending time with his new wife and friends and family.

Congrats to Hill and Holmes heres hoping this leads into them having break out seasons with the 36ers!
Yea also interested to find out about Bruce doesnt seem to be spoken about with the 36ers, has he gone to Europe or the US to play? i remember reading somewhere a rumour he wasnt going to play much longer has he retired already?? i hope he keeps playing somehwere, id love him back as a 36ers, as he has the potential to be one of the best PGs in the league in the next few years, not far off being the best aussie now PG playing in the NBL now behind Bruton and fairly well on par with Gibson

Didnt bruce sign a 2 year deal last year. Im pretty sure when they announced his signing initially it was for 2 years.

Doesn't mean much - all deals were canned this off-season.
