Both Japan and Angola field a duo of diminutive guards, with Childe Dundao representing Africa and Yuki Togashi representing Japan, both measuring 1.65 meters (5 feet 6 inches).

Their fellow backcourt players include Yuki Kawamura at 1.72 meters (5 feet 8 inches) and Gerson Domingos at 1.79 meters (5 feet 10 inches). However, the list of the ten shortest players also boasts several key figures, such as Brazil’s Yago Santos, Iran’s Sajjad Mashayeskhi, and Puerto Rican Tremont Waters, who will play pivotal roles.
