South Korea National Team for the 35th William Jones Cup
Head coach Yoo Jae-Hak recently narrowed down the national team pool to 13 players for the 35th Williams Jones Cup to be held in Taiwan on July 6 to July 14, 2013. The 13 man squad that is as follows:
Yang Dong-Geun (Ulsan Mobis Phoebus)
Kim Tae-Sol (Anyang KGC)
Park Chan-Hee (Anyang KGC)
Kim Sun-Hyung (Seoul SK Knights)
Kim Min-Koo (Kyung Hee University)
Moon Tae-Young (Ulsan Mobis Phoebus)
Lee Seung-Jun (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Cho Sung-Min (Busan Sonicboom KT)
Yoon Ho-Young (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Kim Joo-Sung (Wonju Dongbu Promy)
Choi Bo-Kyung (Seoul SK Knights)
Kim Jong-Kyu (Kyung Hee University)
Lee Jong-Hyun (Korea University)
Yoo cut Lee Seung-Hyun (Korea University), Moon Seung-Gon (Korea University) and Ki Seung-Ho (Changwon LG Sakers) to narrow down the pool into thirteen players. Lee Jong-Hyun, who suffered a nasal fracture while playing for his school, was sidelined for six months after reconstructive surgery. His condition has been improving which was better than expected. Lee will be with the team in the Jones Cup.

Naturalized players Lee Seung Jun aka Eric Sandrin and Moon Tae-Young aka Gregory Stevenson are in the lineup as Yoo Jae-Hak has found it a most difficult choice to choose between the two. Unlike in 2011 where Hur Jae, then the head coach of the men’s national team opted for Moon’s older brother, Moon Tae-Jong as the naturalized player; over Lee Seung-Jun. Since Moon and Lee are considered naturalized and under FIBA stipulations that only one naturalized player per team, Yoo will decide between the two after the Jones Cup concludes.
