A welcoming joy for Panama is the return of power-forward Jamaal Levy, who missed the Centrobasket 2016 due to injury. Six of the twelve players from that Centrobasket are back in the list, that also includes players that have represented Panama in international competitions, but have not done so with the Senior National Team, like Iverson Molinar, Jose Montenegro and Luis Henriquez.
