The German national team for the World Championships to 14 players.
Among the two players cut was Bucknell center Chris McNaughton, who was in his first go around with the senior men's team.
According to reports, German coach Dirk Bauermann deemed the 23-year-old McNaughton and 25-year-old Bjorn Schoo as prospects for future national teams, but too inexperienced for the upcoming FIBA World Championships in Japan.
