CTBA announced the 12-man roster of National Second Team, which will be coached by SBL Coach of the Year Chiu Da-tsun, for the 2009 Jones Cup Saturday. The annual international tournament will tip off July 12 with the women's competition. The men's competition starts on July 18.
Joining Chiu will be his aides on Dacin Tigers -- Hsu Chih-chao and Huang Wan-long. The National Second Team, CTBA said, consists of players who are under 25 years-old.
Highlighting the roster is Jet Chang, a sophomore at NCAA Division-II BYU-Hawaii, who some observers dubbed as the second coming of Chen Hsin-an. It's an observation I find it difficult to agree with though.
The National Second Team is also known as Team Kwanghua.
