    The Korean Basketball Association is planning to overhaul the selection and organization of the player pool for the FIBA international competitions. According to reports, they plan on creating a Senior Team for the qualifying tournaments for the Olympics, FIBA World Cup and Asian Games that will consist of professional players from the KBL alongside the best amateur standouts. A second developmental team will be used for the East Asian Games and World Universiade Games. Amateur standouts could be allocated to the development squad and either way, standouts from the development squad could be elevated into the Senior team.

    It is a long term vision that is targeting a 2020 Olympic Games. Meanwhile, the 2014 basketball squad could showcase the new generation of players on which standouts like the ff: could be considered:

    Lee Jong-Hyun
    Lee Seung-Hyun
    Kim Jong-Kyu
    Kim Min-Koo
    Choi Joon-Yong
    Chon Ki-Beom
    Cho Seung-Moo
    Kang Sang-Jae
    Hur Hoon

    Also trips to Serbia, Lithuania and Latvia are being planned atleast for this summer. Reportedly for the preparation for the 2013 FIBA Asia qualifiers to be held in Manila.

      Any KBL or amateur players found guilty of cooperating with match fixing syndicates will face a lifetime ban from the national team.

            Seeing Yang Dong-Geun in action tonight in the KBL finals and one would conclude that at 32, Yang still plays with that same tenacity like his younger years. But unlike his younger self, Yang is more focused on the end game than revving up the motor and go all out in the first quarter. He channels his aggression better at this point and turns up the afterburners in the 4th. That said, Yang is still good to go for this year's 2013 FIBA Asia championship.

            Yang is doing well in mentoring Kim Si-Rae. The latter has benefited much from being trained and guided by the KBL's best. Prior to the season, Yang stated that he would love to see Kim Si-Rae play for the national team, while also praising Kim Sun-Hyung; the spitfire of SK and who happens to be their adversary in the current KBL finals.

            Kim Sun-Hyung is more likely to be a locked in the national team after the finals while Yang Dong-Geun is the same. While an improving Kim Si-Rae will have to prove himself in the finals other than Yang's endorsement to not only be included in the player pool but to make the twelve man squad. After all, Kim is in competition with mainstays like Park Chan-Hee and Kim Tae-Sol.

            The KBL finals is a showcase of South Korea's present and future point guards.

              Angyang KGC's Yang Hee-Jong, a fixture as a forward for the national team has opted for surgery to clean up bone spurs on his right ankle. Yang will be sidelined this offseason and will miss 2013 FIBA Asia tourneys.

              That is another KGC player out of the national team as if Oh Sek-Eun's lost was not enough. However, Korea still has options in the small forward department like Busan's Cho Sung-Min. Then there is Yang's teammates in Lee Jung-Hyun and Choi Hyun-Min. While Ulsan's Moon Tae-Young has been floating around. LG's Kim Yong-Hwan could also be considered as the latter was healthy all season long and was a member of the 2011 National team that finished third.

              Time for Korea to consider younger small forwards starting with Choi Jin-Soo. As the likes of Cho Sung Min (30), Yang Hee-Jong (29), Kim Yong-Hwan (30) and Moon Tae-Young (33) are aging.

              They should also consider Kyung-Hee's Kim Min-Koo, a viable swingman that can play SF or SG. Kim's teammate, Kim Jong-Kyu is a fixture in the national team.

                Really Appreciate your update CRK13,

                Just wondering what happened to Kang Byung hyun.. can he replace Yang hee dong at sf. he's still young at 28 years old and at 6'4" could be effective sf/sg. Last I heard was he was serving in the military.. does that bar him from playing?

                    Kang can still be considered for the national team as he stated interest to return to the national team despite him being left out for the 2012 Olympic qualifying tournament in Venezuela as his fellow military teammate Yoon Ho-Young was chosen instead. Kang stated that after KCC's season was over.

                    Kang plays better as a shooting guard as he can't defend much taller and stronger players from the middle east. Kang usually plays SG against teams that has bigger players but he played some minutes as SF back in the 2011 FIBA Asia tournament against Japan and Chinese Taipei.

                    also, isn't Lee Seung-Jun and Moon Tae-young both considered as Naturalized S. Koreans? therefor the couldnt be called to the national team at the same time? right?
                    They could be called for the pool but only one can suit up for the twelve man squad. In the 2012 player pool for the Olympics qualifiers, the pool had Lee Seung-Jun and Jeon Tae-Pong.

                      The Korean Basketball Association has announced the roster that will compete in next month's FIBA East Asia tournament that serves as a qualifier for the 2013 FIBA Asia World Cup qualifier in Manila.

                      Head coach: Cho Bo-Young

                      Guards:

                      Park Chan-Hee (Military Sports Team)
                      Park Jae-Hyun (Korea University)
                      Kim Min-Koo (Kyung Hee University)
                      Du Kyung-Min (Kyung Hee University)

                      Forwards:

                      Yoon Ho-Young (Military Sports Team)
                      Hur Il-Young (Military Sports Team)
                      Lee Jung-Hyun (Military Sports Team)
                      Choi Joon-Young (Yonsei University)
                      Lee Seung-Hyun (Korea University)

                      Centers:

                      Kim Jong-Kyu (Kyung Hee University)
                      Lee Jong-Hyun (Korea University)
                      Kim Jun-Il (Yonsei University)


                      An interesting team mixed with the best of what the college ball circuit has to offer. While the federation inserted veteran talents from the military sign-ups for guidance. While the head coach, is from Kyung Hee University and the federation judged that it is time to tap into the amateur coaching scene, citing Team USA finding success with Mike Kyrzyzewski.

                      This early, the federation wants to expose the collegiate players to international competition for the 2014 Asian games. You have the big three from Kyung Hee leading the charge.



                      While the dynamic duo of Lee Seung-Hyun and Lee Jong-Hyun from Korea U is there, hoping to for their chemistry to click against the likes of China.



                      Choi Joon-Young is an intriguing prospect; he is versatile in offense and is shaping to be Korea's answer to a wingman defined in the NBA.



                      I'm just happy that Park Chan-Hee will lead the team! Lee Jung-Hyun and Park Chan-Hee of Anyang KGC will lead this team and it makes for an exciting back-court.

                        Yoon Ho-Young was interviewed by Chosun and it seems he has gone ahead and in the Olympic village to train for next month's FIBA East Asia tournament. Yoon said that he and Heo Il-Young will not have any problem with the "age gap" from them and the majority of the young players. Yoon cited that he is willing to mentor the young ones for anything about basketball.

                          The Korean Basketball Association and the City of Incheon signed a commemorative plaque for the hosting of the FIBA East Asia tournament. That small ceremony was held in front of Incheon officials, the mayor, press and a FIBA Asia delegate.

                          The KBA President stated that this is a mini-showcase for the city and Korea's capable hosting of important events like the 2014 Incheon Asian games.

                          For the fans, the KBA president also stated that future stars like Lee Jong-Hyun are displayed here.

                            The President of the Korean Basketball Association, Mr. Pang Hyeol stated in a press statement that the lack of success that the national team from the following years was the yearly appointment of head coach on which the Korea's senior team was not going in any direction.

                            The President also cited that the federation cannot name a full time national coach from the KBL ranks because of their year round commitment to their KBL teams. The plan is now to appoint a full time national head coach given an interval -- in this case, all the way to the 2014 Asian Games.

                              From the drills posted in Yonhap, the team is practicing a full court press and a man to man pressure defense. Big men like Lee Jong-Hyun and Kim Jong-Kyu are mobile; able to upfront in pace of a designated marker and are able to pedal back into the shaded lane trap.

                              Both will have no problem with an uptempo game as both are equally lateral in running the floor. They did just that last year under Lee Sang-Beom who implemented a run and gun line break for the uptempo attack.

                              Lee Jong-Hyun's recent performance in a college game for KU: 23 points, 17 rebounds and 8 blocks.

                                Choi Joon-Young looks taller than what he is listed. Reminds you of another player of the national team in Choi Jin-Soo. At this age, Choi JY is much better than Choi JS was. The lateral movement and dribbling coordination is there alongside the range of shooting. Both has similar frame and it seems Choi JY can still add more mass.
