Pure Youth will have to find a replacement for Terence Dials, who had to leave Taiwan after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, and it has locked up 6-9 forward Quincy Davis, local media reported Thursday.

Davis, who played in China in 2010 and Turkey this year, averaged 10.4 points, 5.3 rebounds during his four years at Tulane University.

Taiwan head coach Chou Jun-san made the final cut right after the conclusion of the 2011 William Jones Cup with the 15-man roster for the upcoming FIBA Asia Championship for Men set, local newspaper Liberty Times reported.

Little-used point guard Hung Chih-shan of Pure Youth and young and inexperienced Chou Yi-hsiang were cut as well as Doug Creighton, who was reportedly unable to participate in the Asian Championship due to family business, the report quoted Chou as saying.

The 15-man roster is listed below.

Yang Ching-min, 188cm, 1984/01/22, 27, TB
Wu Tai-hao, 202cm, 1985/02/07, 26, TB
Chen Shih-nian, 180cm, 1984/04/08, 27, TB
Ho Shou-cheng, 196cm, 1983/02/15, 28, TB
James Mao, 196cm, 1982/11/16, 28, PY
Chien Chia-hung, 197cm, 1987/03/06, 24, PY
Lu Cheng-ju, 194cm, 1986/08/23, 24, Yulon
Chen Shun-hsiang, 190cm, 1985/05/02, 26, BOT
Su Yi-chieh, 182cm, 1987/01/28, 24, TM
Lee Hsueh-lin, 175cm, 1984/01/31, 27, Beijing (China)
Tseng Wen-ting, 202cm, 1984/07/06, 26, Osaka (Japan)
Lin Chih-chieh, 192cm, 1982/06/11, 28, Zhejiang (China)
Chen Hsin-an, 195cm, 1980/07/01, 30, Dong Guan (China)
Jet Chang, 192cm, 1988/12/27, 22, BYU-Hawaii (US)
Chou Po-chen, 196cm, 1990/08/08, 20, Taiwan Normal University

Head coach: Chou Jun-san, Taiwan Beer
Assistants: Hsu Chin-tse, Pure Youth; Liu Hwa-lin, Taiwan Beer
Technical Adviser: Bob Hill

Among the 15 players, center Tseng Wen-ting sat out the last two games of the Jones Cup to nurse his hip muscle strain while Wu Tai-hao was kept out of the entire tourney due to injury. Another key frontcourt player Tien Lei was not included in the 18-man roster also because of injury. As usual, Taiwan’s height is expected to be a huge disadvantage in Wuhan, Hubei, China.

Players reported to Taiwan NT training camp for the East Asian Basketball Championship (EABC) Tuesday as Taiwan NT head coach Chou Jun-san nominated Liu Hua-lin as his second assistant.

Nineteen of 24 players on the preliminary rosters reported to the camp in Taipei for the preparation of the EABC which will be held in Nanjing, China from June 8 to June 15.

The 2011 EABC is the qualifying tournament for the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship, which will be held in Wuhan, Hubei, China in September. The three best teams, excluding China, qualify for 2011 FIBA Asia Championship.

Five absent players were Tien Lei and Chang Chih-feng, who were injured, and three players who are currently playing overseas — Tseng Wen-ting (Japan), Jet Chang (US) and Chou Yi-hsiang (US).

According to Chou, Tien and Chang are not likely to play in the EABC. Tseng has said he would like to sit out the EABC before joining the NT in Wuhan, if the team makes the Asian Championship.

Chou was also concerned about other injured players, including Wu Tai-hao, Chen Shih-nian and Ho Shou-cheng.

The Taiwan NT will probably have to go to Nanjing without several of its front-court players, so height will be a concern, Chou was quoted as saying.

On paper, Taiwan should have no problem qualifying for the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship as it is expected to finish among top three teams, excluding China, in the EABC. Six teams in the 2011 EABC are:
Group A: Korea, China, Hong Kong
Group B: Japan, Taiwan, Mongolia

16 teams for the 2011 Asian Championship will include:
1. The organizing country.
2. The champion team from the previous FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup.
3. The four best-placed teams from the previous FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup will qualify the same number of teams from their respective sub-zones.
4. The two best teams from the sub-zones.

Therefore, 16 teams for the 2011 Asian Championship are:
East Asia (4): China, TBD, TBD, TBD
Gulf (3): Qatar, UAB, Bahrain
Middle Asia (2): TBD, TBD
Southeast Asia (3): TBD, TBD, TBD
West Asia (4): Lebanon, TBD, TBD, TBD
