Pablo Aguilar

Saúl Blanco
José Manuel Calderón
Victor Claver, Rudy Fernandez
Gabriel Germain
Jorge Garbajosa
Marc Gasol

Rafa Martinez
Alex Mumbrú

Brad Oleson
Felipe Reyes
Berni Rodríguez
Sergio Rodriguez
Ricky Rubio
Victor Sada
Fernando San Emeterio
Carlos Suárez

As it was known before, Pau Gasol will abstain from WC2010 in order to rest. Spain will face Canada, New Zealand, France, Lebanon and Lithuania in the first group stage.
