Although the spot of Marcus Douthit in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup may be taken from him by Andray Blatche, Douthit expressed his Full Support for the Naturalization of Andray Blatche and even attended the hearing in Congress last week with Gilas Pilipinas Coach Chot Reyes and Congressman Yeng Guiao.
In a separate announcement yesterday, Greg Slaughter of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Marcio Lassiter of San Miguel Beermen both announced that they have declined the offer to join the Gilas Pilipinas Player Pool.
Both Greg Slaughter and Marcio Lassiter said that they believe that the original 12 members of Gilas Pilipinas should represent Philippines in the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup and they do not want to take their spots thus their decision to withdraw from the Gilas Pilipinas Player Pool.
