MSU's Miguel Dicent is included in DR's Pan American games player pool. He suited up for Dominica's U17 squad back in 2011.

No commitment from Al Horford, but he did say that Canada is the team to beat come FIBA Americas.

will fight with Finland and New Zealand for 4th place.

Might as well make it 2nd place. Group C is very competitive behind US and I expect a lot of close games with no clear number two in the group. A real tough group to predict.

Game vs Egypt was cancelled or what?

IIRC Mejia would count as a naturalized player, and they prefer Feldeine for that slot.

[Mindozas]

Btw, why there's no Sammy Mejia again? I understand that Greer Bros, Asselin, Luis Flores are getting old, but Mejia could easily play and be one of the leaders there

[JGX]

In case there was any doubt that his previous participation for the DR was mainly a recruiting tool.

[CKR13]

I guess when Karl Towns decided to play for Kentucky against Dominican Republic in the exhibition game in the Bahamas, it was clear that he will not be in the world cup.
