Roster

In January 2014, the Philippines reportedly want JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche to be naturalized as a Filipino for them to be able to represent the country in the upcoming World Cup. [20] Gilas Pilipinas coach Chot Reyes confirmed the development. Antipolo representative Robbie Puno filed House Bills 3784 and 3783, the naturalization bills of JaVale McGee and Andray Blatche. [21] On June 11, 2014, Blatche officially became a Filipino citizen with President Benigno Aquino III signing the relevant legislation. Under FIBA eligibility rules, Blatche became eligible to play for the national squad as a naturalized player with only one player designated as such only allowed to be a part of any national team. [22]

Greg Slaughter, Jared Dillinger, Marcio Lassiter and Paul Lee were invited to join the training pool of the national squad and to be part of the 18-man pool, Lassiter and Slaughter expressed gratitude for the decision but declined the invitation because they think that the 12-man roster that played on the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship are the ones who are deserving to play because they worked hard and helped the team to advance to the World Cup. [23] The 18-man squad was decreased to a 16-man squad but they later on added Jay Washington to the pool, to form a 17-man squad. [24]

Larry Fonacier backed out of the training pool because of being injury-plagued, [25] his two-year-old problem. The 17-man squad was decreased to 16 as Chot Reyes announced the 16-man squad. [26]

On August 18, 2014, the final 12-man roster was announced. [27]
