The 17-man group includes Philadelphia talent Ben Simmons and Jonah Bolden, NBA championships winners Matthew Dellavedova, Patty Mills and Andrew Bogut, as well as Aron Baynes and Joe Ingles.

They will play four games, two against Canada in Perth (August 16-17) and two against the US in Melbourne on August 22 and 24.

The Boomers have drawn Canada, Senegal and Lithuania in their FIBA World Cup group which starts in September.

"I always have a mixture of emotions when a squad is announced," Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis said.

"No doubt, we have the opportunity to put a great team on the floor and that's exciting. Working with the best players in the country is such an honour and privilege - I feel extremely blessed to again have this opportunity.

"However, the depth of talent in Australian basketball means that some tough decisions are made at this point and some very good players miss out. It is especially true on this occasion given the heavy lifting done by so many NBL based players during the World Cup qualification system.

"Having developed a bond with each and every player that has been part of the team over the past two years, it is with a heavy heart that every player who represented Australia in the qualification process will not be given the opportunity to attend camp.

"The short preparation time we have means that we had to limit the number of players attending camp so that we can use the camp for team development, not just selection."
