Boomers squad for China named
This is a bit of B-Team for the most part given that the A-list is mostly unavailable (Newley working out with NBA teams, Mackinnon similar, etc). These guys would be competing for the final or reserve spots on the final team?
The 12-man Australia Post Boomers China Tour Team:Interesting to see them give a hustle-guy like Brad Robbins a run. No 36ers on the list, but Joe Ingles, Jacob Holmes and Oscar Forman represent SA.

Sounded like the camp was fairly relaxed compared to the usual ones and most attendees were selected to go on the trip.
Chatting to Oscar while he's in the Qantas lounge in Sydney - apparently Markovic and Maric were invited but couldn't make it. Rush and Vanderjagt withdrew through injury. Harris, Khazzouh and Tovey attended but were not picked.
