What a pity, he sure is a big talent and an anchor on the Syrian team. With Lebanon & probably Jordan taking this games pretty serious(as they should to not get surprised) seems Syria and Iraq will be the outsiders to get a spot in next years AC.
 
Reyshawn Terry should not be our new naturalized player since he don't play very good every game and there are many players better than him in the league so he don't belongs to the NT.Therefore we have to be more realistic in naturalizing players,in order that we improve and become a stronger country than before.

the guy is great but GS doesn't use him wisely. Why is that ??? because fady should score 30 pts each game and terry is helping him do so. I would like to give the latter a chance though we can still find better than him and that's for sure.

Finally our coach did choose the best players to join the team. I hope he doesn't pick nadim hawe, karl sarkis and hussein el khatib over some great talents like amir saoud, roy samaha and bassel bawji.

Is this guy eligible for Lebanon? Because I've seen him play last year - wearing the Australia jersey. Maybe he never played in any FIBA sanctioned tourney, I don't know.

What a pity, he had good potential for the Asian levels. Will there be a solution to this? Anyway, wish your country the best.

Lebanon got FIBA's approval for him to play with the Lebanese NT.
Those games he played with the Australian NT were friendly games (i think they were played in China if i'm not mistaken) and not official and this is why the Lebanese basketball federation asked from FIBA if he can represent the Lebanese NT to be sure of this before mentioning his name on the list of candidates for the NT.
 
It's official i can confirm that FIBA authorized Julian Khazzouh's eligibility to play for Lebanon.
As Khalid said he played ONLY non official games with the Australian NT.
 
Julian Kazzouh Playing For the Green Team in Lebanon ,Sagesse Beirut (also Leading the league in Position 1 with 10W-1L)

Julian Kazzouh (211-C)(LEB) Is Considered the best Lebanese Center and By Far ! He Prooved that he can Play on an International Level ! Very Good player
a Big Add for Our National Team ! it was a dream to get him and finally he's Here and playing for Us !!

Julian Kazzouh Stats in the Lebanese League : 23 MIN , 11.3 PPG , 8.33 RBPG ,1.83 ASPG !!

309648_474677539234175_342200421_n.jpg


In My Opinion 2 Huge Adds For the Lebanese Basketball National Team :

Julian Kazzouh (211-C)(LEB) and Ahmad Ibrahim (201-SF)(LEB)

Ahmad is a young player ,20 Years old ! but This player is Really huge ,maybe will be Our next fadi El Khatib !
Has Great Skills ,can do everything ,Very Good slasher ,Huge Shooter !! Huge Scorer

 
Final Roster for Lebanese NT at the WABA are:

1-Ali Mahmoud (180-PG)(Al Riyadi Beirut)
2-Rodrigue Akl (188-PG)(Sagesse Beirut)
3-Jean Abdel Nour (199-SF)(Al Riyadi Beirut)
4-Hussein El Khatib (192-SG)(Champville Club)
5-Fadi El Khatib (199-SF)(Champville Club)
6-Ahmad Ibrahim (201-SF)(Al Riyadi Beirut)
7-Mazen Mneimneh (192-SG)(Byblos Club)
8-Roy Samaha (206-C)(Mouttahed)
9-Ali Kanaan (206-C)(Al Riyadi Beirut)
10-Nadim Hawi (205-C)(Champville Club)
11-Julian Kazzouh (211-C)(Sagesse Beirut)
12-Reyshawn Terry (203-SF/PF)(USA)(NATURALIZED PLAYER)
 
I think it's a good Roster about choosing players according to their Performance in LBL and that's a fact but there is 2 Questions !!
I wanna evaluate every player in the roster according to his level in LBL

1-Ali Mahmoud (180-PG) :Top PG in Asia ,no need to talk about him
2-Rodrigue Akl (188-PG) :Considered the best in Lebanon these Days ,Very good player and he's Running Sagesse Team very well on his position ,this guy can run a team and control everything !he's great
3-Jean Abdel Nour (199-SF) :No need also to Talk about Jean Performance ,Top Player
4-Hussein El Khatib (192-SG) :This Guy play from his heart ,he fight on every ball ,good scorer ,Very good Shooter and Huge On Deff. Maybe come after Jean this year in LBL ,i think Ghassan took Hussein for a Role ! his Role to defend the best players from the other teams ,this guy stopped Andre Emmett (HUGE PLAYER ,scored in 3 games more than 50 PTS !!! Hussein Killed him on DEFF) but the Question is ,there is a lot of players better than Hussein and way mature on the court and have more Experience !! (Elie Stephan ,Ghaleb Rida ,Elie Rustom ) where are these guys ?? they are definitely better
5-Fadi El Khatib (199-SF) :No Comment
6-Ahmad Ibrahim (201-SF) :this guy is our Huge prospect for the Future ,Ahmad is only 20 Years old ,at his First pro Career in Lebanon ,in a hard league like LBL he's averaging 16.1 PPG !!! this guy is a huge scorer ,maybe will be better than Khatib in the Future ! after all the advertisement for Ahmad ,he was up to the expectations ,and i think he will Start next to Khatib in the starting 5
7-Mazen Meneimneh (192-SG) : Playing for Byblos this Year ,leading his team with a Wonderful performance very good player and deserve it Really ,18 PPG
8-Roy Samaha (206-C) : Very good size under the basket ,we need him ,the guy is in shape now and he's killing on the inside game ,he got all the skills !
9-Ali Kanaan (206-C) : Very good Center ,can shoot from Outside ! Nice Call
10-Nadim Hawi (205-C) :Here is the big Question !!!! There is a lot of players better than Nadim and by Far !! Where is Bawji ?? Bassel is averaging a 17 PPG with more than 10 RBPG !! this guy is very good ,where is charles Tabet (206-C) ?? a beast under the basket very good player ,Bad Call ,a lot of players better than him
11-Julian Kazzouh (211-C) : Iwill not talk a lot of this Guy , you will watch him ,the Best Lebanese Center and by Far !!! Huge player
12-Reyshawn Terry (203-SF/PF)(USA)(NATURALIZED PLAYER) :We will watch him in WABA and will judge his performance but i think we can find better than him !
