Interestingly enough, coach Chot also extended invitations to five players who are not currently playing in the PBA. One of them was Almond Vosotros, who last played for Blackwater but who has had experience training with the cadets. Another was Raymar Jose, who last played for the country in the 2016 SEABA Stankovic Cup in Thailand. Former Ateneo Blue Eagle and UAAP MVP Kiefer Ravena was also called up along with former Batang Gilas and 3×3 standout Kobe Paras, who just committed to Cal State Northridge in the US NCAA. Perhaps the strangest name, however, was that of 6’8 Filipino-German Christian Hermoso Standhardinger, who has never played in any Philippine league or for any Philippine team before.
