Emmanuel Malou who has NBA interest could be a chance to play.
What about Jock Landale and Emmett Naar from St Mary's and Josh Derksen from Bellarimine?

Drmic will not be available.
Would love to see Nicholas Kay, Iggy Hadziomerovic and Sam Rowley.
Yeah, Nicholas Kay would be good, great to see how much he has developed
also Emmanuel Malou would be interesting to see at this level.
This tournament should be used (like the last one in Russia were we came second) to give expose to future boomers so in saying that, it would be a no to shane bruce
Usa College only players. My picks.
Mens
Greenwood/naar or hadziomerovic
McCarron/drmic/hooley
Jois/deng deng or cooks
Mathiang/Joseph acuil/trist or hill or Duncan or rowley or Kay
Malone/landale
Bolden eligible?
Women's
Wallace/Panousis
Seekamp/Barr/nakkasoglu
Sheedy/Nicholson
K.froling/brown/mccorkel
A.froling/fareo
K.froling out so throw in h.young.
SMH half you guys are fools. None of these college guys will be released to play in this tournament.
It will be made up of University Enrolled NBL players and a couple of finished US college players.
Exactly above. The teams will be made predominantly of Australian-based players.
For women, you'd be amazed at the number of girls who are currently engaged in a convenient Cert II in 'Basketweaving' to be eligible for this sort of thing!
Slight exaggeration. But also, a lot of ladies playing WNBL at the moment would also be studying part time online or even full time. Young players like Bec Cole, Bec Allen, Kate Ebzery. Older players like Neweley, Foley, Tolo. They're all probably still studying, given that part time extends 3 year courses to 6+.

Wrong group, that is the 2011 women's team.
The rules are under 25 and studying any tertiary institution including TAFE.

Don't think Mangok will be there but this is a great accomplishment.

Aussie men's 2013 silver medal team:
Matthew Andronicos
Cameron Bairstow
Todd Blanchfield
Ryan Broekhoff
Jason Cadee
Andrija Dumovic
Cody Ellis
Igor Hadziomerovic
Mitch Norton
Owen Odigie
Clint Steindl
Mitch Young
Bairstow was still at New Mexico and returning, as was Hadziomerovic.
Will be interesting to see if there are more returning US college players this time around as the experience did wonders for Bairstow.
