Outlook: There is no doubt that Hong Kong and Kuwait are the teams favored to advance from this group. Hong Kong gave a good account of itself in the 2013 FIBA Asia Men’s Championships, and its team is still mostly intact for this competition. Familiar names like Fong Shing Yee, Lo Yi Ting, Lee Ki, and Duncan Reid are in the roster, and their collective experience should carry them past the Maldives and Mongolia. Mongolia, however, might put up a stiff challenge against the Hong Kongers. When they last met in the 2013 East Asian Basketball Association tournament, Hong Kong narrowly escaped, 76-73, as Lo Yi Ting dropped 25 markers. The guys to watch for Mongolia are 6-foot-3 Sanchir Tungalag and 6-foot-1 Uuganbayar Oyuntsetseg.
