I want to give an advice to the new federation this summer is to make many friendly games against strong and european countries inorder not only to prepare for next year but till that we know how is our situation and if we can be competitive to them.

I hope that next year the lebanese team will be completely different from this year and also from 2011, with a new coach and new excellent players that will help us a lot so that we can beat european teams in the future, hoping for the best.

Although it was indicated that he was about to play for the Lebanese NT in 2010 but did not push through. And even if Julian Khazzouh turns out to have Lebanese blood, there's this new rule by FIBA w/c requires a half-breed or a dual-citizen player to have laid claim of the nationality of the country that he wants to represent before he turned 16 years old. I wonder if Khazzouh could meet this requirement.
The Lebanese federation was trying to get him in 2010 but Julian almost made it to the final roster of the Australian NT and he mentioned that he prefers to play for and represent the Australian NT...
So I don't imagine seeing him ever play for Lebanon and for sure with the new FIBA rules i'm sure he can't represent Lebanon. Moreover the guy played in the Israeli league so that's another obstacle.

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostTenx for the reply sir. Julian would be a great addition to Lebanon if ever he suits up w/ your team. Imagine a trio of El Khatib, Julian Khazzouh & a naturalized player, plus the 2 young players now playing in the US NCAA div. 1. Lebanon would be a tough nut to crack in international games.
Originally posted by heart21 View PostSam Hoskin was before our naturalized player but now he is no more lebanese since he was playing before with our enemy israel and now after we get rid of him, Jackson Vroman can now rejoin us again hopefully with Julian Khazzouh.
In the link below you can see the list of previous teams that Julian played with you and can notice that he played with Ironi Ramat Gan which happens to be an Israeli team.

I think that we should not naturalize a new player because Jackson Vroman is a beast and plays good under the basket even though he is not a center but with our starting center Daniel Faris and the backup of Charles Tabet we would be alright.

After JULIAN KHAZZOUH is out of reach and he cannot play with Lebanon NT.
My opinion the players that should play are:
1-FADI EL KHATIB
2-JACKSON VROMAN
3- MATT FREIJE
4-RONY FAHED
5-ELIE RUSTOM
6-ALI MAHMOUD
7-DANIEL FARIS
8-WILLIAM PHARIS
9-JEAN ABDEL NOUR
10-AHMAD IBRAHIM
11-CHARLES TABET
12- OMAR EL TURK
Our strating five should be:
1-RONY FAHED
2-FADI EL KHATIB
3-MATT FREIJE
4-JACKSON VROMAN
5-DANIEL FARIS
