    SANTIAGO (National team) - New Chilean coach Daniel Allende has named his squad for the warm-up tournament to the South American Championship.

    Allende has left Percy Werth out of his team for the event in Venezula because of the player's examination commitments.

    Werth said: "I've meet Miguel Herrera (the Chilean Basketball Federation president) and after analysing the schedule, I told him I could not join the team. I have semestral exams in that period."
    Patrick Saez and Pablo Avila have also been omitted after orginally being included by Allende.

    Erik Carrasco, Rodrigo Espinoza, Leonel Mendez, German Siegmund; Rodrigo Zuniga, Mike Elliot, Christian Diaz; Claus Prutzmann, Patricio Briones, Jorge Valencia.
