Even at the age of 38 Ismail Ahmad continues to show why he is such a basketball legend and in my opinion one of the best Egyptian basketball players to have ever played the game

No chance of Omar Samhan or Omar Oraby joining the NT?

I think they would be valuable big men for the Egyptian NT and since Egypt's tallest player is 207 cm which compared to previous NT's isn't the tallest

[lemo]

Unfortunately ,no!!!!
Furthermore, there is no obvious view regarding the NT preparation up till now.
They made a training camp in Serbia where the played weak friendlies against Belarus and a Serbian club.
And Jones Cup this year is weaker compared to the previous year and it is not suitable for preparing for a big tournament like the World Cup.
No good international tournament up till now the federation officially announced they will participate at!!!!( like Angola , Senegal, Iran) .
I was ambitious we could make something against Serbia ( like Nigeria at 2006 with NCAA based players ) and Iran.
But Our federation is extremely far away form these thoughts.
Simply, weak roster + weak preparation = fore-coming disaster.
I now only hope avoiding Double Score results.
