A world of undiscovered talent is on display in Indy. (Insider: NBA).

It's a rare day in Indianapolis when you have to fight through a crowd of Angolans for a beer down at the Slippery Noodle, when a Brazilian, a German and a Kiwi are sipping Cosmopolitans at Nicky Blaine's and when an actual Mongolian drops in at BD's Mongolian Barbeque. But, hey, it's time for the World Championship. Let's hope Central Indiana is ready.

Fifteen international teams, plus the U.S. contingent, flock to Indianapolis this weekend for the Games of the 14th World Championship, and for the most part, that means lots of tall guys with funny accents for the locals. But there will be recognizable faces on many teams for NBA fans.

The Yugoslavian team features Vlade Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Vladimir Radmanovic and Peja Drobnjak. Dirk Nowitzki will play for Germany, Andrei Kirilenko will play for Russia, Hedo Turkoglu will star for Turkey, and No. 1 draft pick Yao Ming will man the middle for China.

But, of course, we know all about those guys. More interesting in this tournament is the presence of sever al players who have not yet played a game in the NBA, but whose rights already have been claimed in the draft. If you're looking for a reason to tune into the tournament, keep an eye on six future NBA players to watch.

Marko Jaric, G, Yugoslavia. The Clippers took Jaric with the first pick of the second round in 2000 and signed him for this season. He is 6-7 and can play both backcourt positions--he will start at the point for Yugoslavia--and could be the Clippers' starting shooting guard when the season opens. He is tough and athletic, a mature player who will make for a tough matchup should Yugoslavia meet the Americans in the gold medal game.

Milos Vujanic, PG, Yugoslavia. Stunning, isn't it, that hometown fans were not happy with a Knicks draft selection. New York pulled a surprise by choosing Vujanic, 22, with the 36th overall pick in June, hoping he will develop in Europe over the next two years. Vujanic is a solid athlete who can play in transition and work the pick-and-roll well.

Juan Carlos Navarro, PG, Spain. Known as "La Bomba" in Spain, Navarre is a quick and talented shooter who is skilled at creating shots for himself. His point guard play is improving, and he's a pesky defender. The Wizards landed Navarre, who is 6-4, with the 40th pick in June. He probably is a year away from coming to Washington.
