Seeding

The 16 participating teams at the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup will participate in the First Round of the FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian qualifiers. China, the host of the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, will also participate in the qualifiers despite being automatically qualified for the FIBA Basketball World Cup as hosts. The seeding of 8 pots used in the draw were determined on the basis of the team's FIBA World Rankings and "geographic principles". Teams in pots with an odd number were either drawn on Group A or B while teams in pots with an even number were drawn on Group C or D.

• (*) At the time of the draw, teams which hasn't secured qualification for the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup. Discounting FIBA Basketball World Cup hosts China, four teams from the East Asia region, a team each for Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia have not qualified yet at that time for the FIBA Asia Cup and thus placeholder teams selected on the basis of FIBA World Rankings were used for the draw. Should these teams have not qualify for the continental tournament, the qualifying teams could have replaced them. All of the placeholder teams later secured qualification.
