No giddey, no king, no duach, no wessels.
Daniels listed at 202cm can't be right.
We go from full roster and medal chances to not finishing top 8.
Ba is a disgrace. Take these WCs seriously ffs.
Wigness - bayles
Armstrong - smith
Daniels - Galloway - Adebayo
Jones - Okwera
Gak - Dengdit - Yaak

Some strange selections there - No proctor who is considered an NBA prospect is bizarre especially considering how small our other guards are with 2 5'11 guys.
I like Yaak as a prospect but still kinda raw, would have preferred Wessels in that spot.
Still the starting 5 should be solid and am excited to see what Gak can do.
Roll on July.
Sengun playing for Turkey, why is Giddey not playing.
Garuba a possibility for Spain.

Maybe it's because the Euro players came up through a system where they’re guaranteed a spot in a good team on good money if they get injured or don’t make it in the NBA, whereas Giddey is a bit more desperate and doesn’t have a guaranteed spot anywhere apart from Sixers.
But if clubs are interested they wouldn't let sengun play in u19s. Not just him but Serbia, France have 2021s on the boards and have been selected.
"why is Giddey not playing."
Presumably he made himself unavailable. Can't imagine him being left out otherwise, and it's consistent with his recent decision to stop playing in the NBL.
Credit to sengun if he plays, doesn't care about hurting draft stock.
