Russia Federation named 16 players to start the training camp for the WC team on May 23.
Guards
Kseniya Levchenko
Viktoriya Zavyalova
Margarita Dukhina
Anna Burovaya
Anasatsiya Kuplinova
Veronika Varlamova
Forwards
Tatyana Sema
Elizaveta Krymova
Raisa Musina
Kamilla Ogun
Darya Kolosovskaya
Olga Aksenova
Elizaveta Bratchikova
Centers
Zhosselina Majga
Aleksandra Kirina
Kseniya Kuzmina
Kolosovskaya is the 2014 U18 European champ and tournament's MVP, along with All-Tournament Sema. Musina won the 2014 U16 Euro title and was named All-Tournament. Other notables are Levchenko, Zavyalova, Ogun and Majga.
But the biggest omission is 16-year old sensation Mariya Vadeeva (a 190 cm center), the 2014 U16 Euro MVP, who is already starring with the Sr NT. She probably will play in the 2nd half of June at the EuroBasket Women and if healthy will be added on time to the U19 team. Vadeeva is perhaps the world's top player of her age-class.
