Preliminary reports say Saudi Arabia has withdrawn from the fray. Kuwait has been redrawn into Group B. The groups as of now look as such:
Group A
Hong Kong
North Korea
Group B
Philippines (Smart Gilas Pilipinas)
Kuwait
Group C
Turkmenistan
Mongolia
Group D
India
Afghanistan
Kuwait is high tempo squad that likes the perimeter shots. They may lack big size in the post but this doesn't mean they won't be physical. Gilas should pound it inside and play physica defense. Expect an intense match. Also adding to the intrigue is the fact that two warm up matches were previously scheduled agaisnt Kuwait but it is unknown whether these matches will still be played. Kuwait will present a tough test for Gilas and even though opponents will be able to scout them, the team will be warmed up and have a game under their belts when they hit the preliminary stage.
