Biedrins is biggest mystery, because there hasn't been any info about him. Official version is that he hasn't recovered from injuries which is BS I think. Probably doesn't want to play this year. Kambala was only one who isn't because of coaches decision although he planned to retire in NT after last Eurobasket.
Kristaps Valters still has that funny DSQ from our federation, same for Armands Skele. Sandis Valters retired from NT last year, while Kristaps Janicenoks is still recovering from ankle injury. Others from last Eurobasket team either isn't in coaches plans (like Ernests Kalve, Gatis Jahovics) or has retired (Uvis Helmanis, Arturs Stalbergs, Aigars Vitols).

Our candidate list will join two U20 players - Martins Meiers (C) and Mareks Mejeris (SF). They're added to get more players and bodies in practices. Maybe one of them could get spot in final roster but it's a longshot.
Other additions are not planned although everyone wanted to see Bagatskis inviting Kambala after missing all other top players from frontcourt (Biedrins, Berzins, Zakis).

Today our team looked pathetic. Ok, we were missing our both starting guards Janis Strelnieks and Janis Blums as well as few others from current roster (not including those who isn't playing this year), but still they had to beat them in any way.
Pretty shameful and not the best days for our NT, but I really hope they will use these games (in which most of them will be losses probably) to improve and be solid when real games starts.

Big "thanks" to our federation and especially Mr. Edgars Sneps who destroyed this generation and our roster.
