Chot Reyes announced Gilas Pilipinas World Cup roster on Twitter

Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes have decided to stick with the original 12-man roster that won the silver medal last year in the 27th FIBA Asia Championship with the exception of 5th FIBA Asia Cup hero and Rain or Shine standout Paul Lee who will take Larry Fonacier's spot and newly naturalized player Andray Blatche who will take Marcus Douthit's spot.



He broke the news on Twitter on Monday afternoon following their 50-point loss to Ukraine in a 4-team pocket tournament in Antibes, France. Both Paul Lee and Andray Blatche didn't suit up for that game.

We are tapping Paul Lee to take Larry Fonacier's spot & Andray Blatche as our naturalized player for the World Cup. God bless us all #PUSO!
