DR beats Costa Rica 85-47 on their Centrobasket opener.

So they are basically sending a B team with a separate coaching staff to the Centrobasket? It would unfortunate to see their Olympic hopes ended before the WC even begins.

their bench is the starting lineup in Centrobasket

I'm not sure about the rest, I think Karl Towns Jr will still make it, but full training camp roster here:

It seems that Orlando Antigua is going to be the next coach of the dominican team, also James Feldeine(He plays with fuenlabrada in spain) is going to be the naturalize player and not charlie villanueva.

http://www.dominicanosenbasket.com/2...o-antigua.html

Wise choice by the Dominicans, Feldeine was the 2nd leading scorer in ACB last season. He can play off the ball and create for himself as well. Looking forward for the preliminary calls by coach Antigua. Horford hasn't yet decided if he will play this summer. Hope to see Towns in the team
