Here's the SoKor lineup: https://twitter.com/YaChHy74ny/status/1704372856552075392?t=QdxK11ajVfdmiVN4HjwXWw&s=19

Pretty strong lineup. Height and shooting from 1 to 4. Even 5 if we count Kim Jong-kyu and Ricardo Ratliffe.

Chemistry-wise, looks like they are the most intact and most cohesive team.

This will need some verification. I dunno if news outlets have reported it yet. But if true, yes, they are a really strong team.

Did some research on the team, and here's what I got.

Guards: Heo Hoon (1995; 180cm), Kim SunHyung (1988; 187cm), Byeon JunHyeong (1996; 188cm), Lee JungHyun (1986; 190cm), Jeong SeongHyeon (1991; 188cm)
Wings: Moon JeongHyeon (2001; 196cm), Lee WooSuk (1999; 195cm), Yang HongSeok (1997; 196cm)
Bigs: Lee SeungHyun (1992; 197cm) Ha Yungi (1999; 203cm), Kim JongKyu (1991; 207cm), Raguna (1989; 198cm)

Pretty good-sized players from 1-4. They will have a problem inside, though, if Ratliffe ain't there.​​​ Mix of veterans and younger players.

By the way, I got an article here. Most likely, this is the lineup.

I think the names in bold are 1st timers in the Sokor national team.
 
Have the rosters of other teams like Iran, Jordan, Taiwan, Bahrain & Thailand already been released?

Its interesting to know the rosters of those teams.

So its the 6-foot-3 Lee Jung-Hyun who will be playing in the Asian Games & not the 6-foot-7 Lee Hyun Jung who is South Korea's 2nd leading scorer behind Ricardo Ratliffe in the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers?

That 6-foot-7 Lee Hyun-jung is scary. I remember how good & promising he was in 2021 when the coach Tab Baldwin-mentored Gilas team (made up of amateurs) beat Korea twice. Lee was only 20 at the time.

Only one of Korean legend Hur Jae's sons made it in the line up, Heo Hoon. His bro didnt make the team unlike last AG in 2018, where their dad, and former KNT coach Hur Jae, named both brothers in the final 12.

Hur Jae of course was accused of nepotism, but he benched his younger son Heo Hoon in the final three games of that Asiad.
 
IPC said:
Not Ha Yungi, though. He played for them in the June 2021 window, and the OQT. But yeah, I think the rest are first-timers.
Click to expand...

Ah ok. But I think Korea is missing a No. of key national team players in the Asiad. Among them 6-foot-7 Lee Hyung-jung, 6-7 Choi Joon Young, 6-4 Lee Dae Sung.

The Heo brothers justify their inclusion, though.​ Pretty decent performers in their NT.
 
In another sport, the Malditas have their first game tomorrow against Hong Kong.

Things get tougher from there, though, as we face SoKor and Myanmar next. Hope we get at least 3 points against these girls.

Also, the PHL Men's Volleyball team recorded their first win vs Afghanistan. Their record is now 1-1 with a loss vs Indonesia. They hope to qualify in the Final 12. Their next game is against Japan tho

Lee Jung hyun is the veteran no. 3 guy way back 2017

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Jung-hyun_(basketball)

they are korean version of so called pba all stars dash is playing in b league right?
Click to expand...

Lee Dae-Sung "​Dash" will play for Sea Horses in the B-League.

So 2 of their brightest stars will miss this AG.
  • 6'7 Lee Hyun-jung, formerly of Davidson and now in the NBL
  • 6'8 Jun Seok Yeo. (25 ppg in the 2022 FIBA World U-21) , incoming Gonzaga Bulldog
both were in Clark in 2021.

It’s like their revenge arc after getting DQ'd last year. I doubt Jordan would have qualified in the WC if Korea was around. Jordan’s form in the second round was questionable.
Click to expand...

That was with Tucker… I get it… but with RHJ, I think Jordan have slight edge over Korea, we saw how RHJ almost single handedly beat NZL in WC… And I know RHJ have angry towards Korean league because they didn’t use RHJ properly.. I think RHJ led Jordan will beat Korea… we also saw in PBA how good RHJ is, he beat super team Ginebra that has 4-5 Gilas player material plus super import Brownlee… RHJ is indeed a game changer…

No team in that group can challenge the Koreans.

I will not underestimate Japan bro… We underestimate them last WC because they were in the group of death that includes Germany, Australia and Finland but they manage to win 1 out of 3 tough teams…they have a better system in Asian basketball..
 
IPC said:
After the group stage, it's straight to knockouts.

If Gilas finish 2nd, we face the third-placer of Group D, which is either Qatar or Indonesia (let's face it, Japan and SoKor are top 2 in that group) for the quarters spot, then we face the first placer of group A (most likely Iran). If we top the group, we get an automatic quarters spot, and face either the 2nd-placer of Group A (most likely Kazakhstan) or the 3rd placer of Group B (either Mongolia or Hong Kong).
Click to expand...

Gilas should avoid being no.3 seeded team… they have a good draw this Asian games… This is the chance that they can make it atleast semifinal round… Iran w/o Haddadi is slightly less worry than having Haddadi in the line up… Is still Kazakhstan a strong team? I bet KSA are better than them already… anyway Gilas have advantage against either Iran or KSA/Kazakhstan…

RHJ was only naturalized weeks before the WC.

I was referring to their second round form in the WCQ. It wasn’t great and they relied heavily on Al-Dwairi and Tucker to bail them out.

If Korea was there, Jordan would have had trouble than facing India. They qualified because India was not a challenger.
