Nine of the 12-man roster are in the NBA, but because Rockets center Randale had to quit at the last minute because he suffered a severe ankle sprain in yesterday's match against South Sudan, Australia did not bring a full-fledged center to the World Cup.
The most likely person to replace him in the current team is Dupres, who plays for CBA Qingdao, and he previously played more of a fourth-position role in the team.
However, Australia is indeed luxurious enough in other positions, and the team's two outside cores, Mills and Ingles, still play with the team.
And the new generation of Josh Giddy, Josh Green and Seibre are now gradually taking over, and with their FIBA rules, this Australian team is not afraid of the big names in the United States at this year's World Cup.
In the latest World Cup winning odds list, Australia is still in fourth place, behind the United States, France and Canada men's basketball team.
