Coach Yeng Guiao needs to choose between Christian Standhardinger and Stanley Pringle for each game since they are considered naturalized players in FIBA tournaments but according to Quinito Henson, Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas or SBP is still checking with FIBA if Stanley Pringle and Greg Slaughter can play as a local.
