Serbia started with preparations, Đorđević called 16 players

Serbian national team started with preparations for the Olympic Qualification Tournament, which will be held in Belgrade, 4-9 July.

Head coach Aleksandar Đorđević announced the roster that consists of 16 players, however Serbia will probably be without Minnesota Timberwolves player Nemanja Bjelica, who is recovering from foot injury. Also, Đorđević had to make two major changes in comparison to his preliminary roster, as Boban Marjanović (San Antonio Spurs) and Nikola Milutinov (Olympiacos) withdrew from the roster. They got replaced by Vladimir štimac (Crvena zvezda Telekom) and Stefan Birčević (Partizan NIS).

Take a look at the full roster of Serbia:

Point guards: Miloš Teodosić (CSKA), Stefan Jović (Crvena zvezda Telekom), Stefan Marković (Unicaja);

Shooting guards: Bogdan Bogdanović (Fenerbahce), Nemanja Nedović (Unicaja), Marko Gudurić (Crvena zvezda Telekom), Rade Zagorac (Mega Leks);

Small forwards: Nemanja Dangubić (Crvena zvezda Telekom), Nikola Kalinić (Fenerbahce), Marko Simonović (Crvena zvezda Telekom);

Power forwards: Nemanja Bjelica (Minnesota Timberwolves), Milan Mačvan (EA7 Olimpia Milano), Stefan Birčević (Partizan NIS);

Centers: Miroslav Raduljica (Panathinaikos), Nikola Jokić (Denver Nuggets), Vladimir štimac (Crvena zvezda Telekom).

Recall that each team can register 12 players for the Olympic Qualification Tournament.
