Camp roster has also been named. http://www.nba.com/bwb/participants_asia2006.html
And Philippines is again conspicuously absent....And I didn't know Kyrgyzstan is a basketball powerhouse!
The players from China are not as good as in the last edition, however, there are still a few talents. Tian Yuchen (you should always read the listed age with a grain of salt) is supposed to grow over 7-foot and was hand-picked by the US Basketball Academy to train in their Big Men Camp in Oregon that also featured Shagari Alleyne, last summer. Li Jingyu also trained in USBA for 6 months and received good reviews. Zhang Chuyang, an athletic slasher is the MVP of China's Jr. NBA League, and Yan Jin is a 6-7 point guard.
Of the other players, Kim Jin-Soo of the Korean NT will probably take away the MVP honor in his second appearance. I hardly know about the other players, but Kazakhstan NT player Anton Ponomarev had been mentioned as a potential NBA prospect.

The players from China are not as good as in the last edition, however, there are still a few talents. Tian Yuchen (you should always read the listed age with a grain of salt) is supposed to grow over 7-foot and was hand-picked by the US Basketball Academy to train in their Big Men Camp in Oregon that also featured Shagari Alleyne, last summer. Li Jingyu also trained in USBA for 6 months and received good reviews. Zhang Chuyang, an athletic slasher is the MVP of China's Jr. NBA League, and Yan Jin is a 6-7 point guard.
Of the other players, Kim Jin-Soo of the Korean NT will probably take away the MVP honor in his second appearance. I hardly know about the other players, but Kazakhstan NT player Anton Ponomarev had been mentioned as a potential NBA prospect.
