At the 10th performance improvement committee held on the 3rd, the Korea Basketball Association selected the final 12 players to participate in the '2027 FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifier WINDOW-1'.
SK coach Jeon Hee-chul and LG coach Cho Sang-hyun will lead the national team as coaches and coaches, respectively. It is a temporary position in charge of only two consecutive home and away games against China on Nov. 28 and Dec. 1.
After the two consecutive games against China, the Korean Basketball Association will appoint an official head coach for the national team.
Three guards, six forwards, and three big men were selected.
Lee Jung-hyun (Sono), Byun Joon-hyung (Director Jeong), and Yang Joon-seok (LG) were selected as guards. Huh Hoon was excluded in the aftermath of the injury, and Korea University guard Moon Yoo-hyun was also considered, but he did not choose after much consideration.
Yoo Ki-sang (LG), Song Kyo-chang Choi Joon-yong (hereinafter KCC), Lee Hyun-joong (Nagasaki), Lee Woo-seok (National Military Sports Unit) and Ahn Young-joon (SK) were selected as forwards.
Yeo Jun-seok, who is attending Seattle University, will not participate in this competition.
Lee Hyun-joong, Yoo Ki-sang, Lee Woo-suk, and Ahn Young-joon were also selected at the last Asia Cup. He was expected to join the national team.
Song Kyo-chang, who has shown strong defense and peak performance this season, was decided to join the national team without much disagreement, and Choi Jun-yong, who is not in perfect physical condition, was also included in the 12-man roster.
Coach Jeon Hee-chul said, `The game against China cannot be won in a normal power match. Modified defense such as modified 2-3 regional defense and 3-2 drop zone is needed, and the key is to maximize transition in attack. There was a judgment that Choi Jun-yong was essential to create this system. Ha Yoon-ki (KT), Lee Seung-hyun (Hyundai Mobis), and Lee Won-seok (Samsung) joined the Big Man.
