He was not called up last year. 

also 2 players that should be called in my opinion are:

 

1. shooting guard A. Della Valle, first italian scorer of the season with 15.8 points

2. and the tall guy Leonardo Totè of Napoli who made his best season ever and center with these caharacteristics doesnt exist in italian roster now

They are not among the six reserves, so they probably won't be called up. Darius Thompson is still waiting for his passport and, as I understand it, he might also be called up (I don't know what the status is with Donte naturalization or whether he's using quota or not).

Both, and I add abbas to the list, aren’t in pozzecco’s heart, instead Ricci, spissu and severini are the coach’s soldier, della valle give up to the dream to play for the senior national team so much that he choose to play for the 3x3 just to wear the azzurro 😅

I recently watched games of those European Championships. Surprisingly, there was no Olympic medal in 2000, but only unexpectedly in 2004 without Myers and Fucki – two stars from 1999. In my opinion the 2004 squad was weaker than both the 1999/2000 and 2015/2016 squads, but it was the 2004 squad that won the Olympic medal (It was almost as if there were no Italians in Athens at all - Eurobasket 2003 started badly for us- then only the 3 best teams qualified for the Olympics).

The  team in 2004 Olympics had 2 guards of high level however, Basile and Bulleri

I expect that it will be released next week or maybe at the end of the ongoing week.

I read interview from president of federation, he mentioned end of July as deadline.

Apparently, Jokić will play.
