Headlining the 12-man line-up are five veterans of the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain: Andray Blatche, Japeth Aguilar, Paul Lee, June Mar Fajardo, and Gabe Norwood.

Even if Andray Blatche had a near triple-double of 19 points, 18 rebounds, and 9 assists in a remarkable do-it-all performance in Gilas Pilipinas’ 92-83 tune-up win over Australian Club team Adelaide 36ers, many other players stepped up for the national team.
