MANILA -- Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes has revealed the players to be included in the Gilas Cadets program ahead of the Philippines' hosting of the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

College basketball stars and high school standouts headline Reyes' "23 for 23", where he bared the names on Twitter Friday.

Towering centers Kai Sotto and AJ Edu make up the high school sensations in the list along with Carl Tamayo and Will Gozum.

Four US National Collegiate Athletic Association players also made the cut in Arizona State's Remy Martin, California State's Dwight Ramos, California State-Northridge's Kobe Paras, and Wake Forest's Troy Rike.
