I will be surprised if we Beat Italy,i don't see it happening

You really think Lithuania has no chance against Italy? Lol. Lithuania is the group favourite at the moment, and if Sabonis decides to play in it, the odds for you only increase. Banchero’s choice to represent US over Italy also helps.

We have chances of course,but the team isn't looking good right now,also sabonis and Valanciunas are A DISASTER together,becuase neither can put their ego aside and take a a backseat.Also what are we going to even do in the olympics,if we make it ?  Get into a quaterfinal,yipeeee,that's gonna get touted as a great win,but no one here will care.

Hooping  
 

Actually FIBA probably seeds the Olympics Qualifying tournaments into the Draw.

So Australia's Olympics draw is probably.

Pot 2 with Serbia and Latvia OQT (so wouldn't play them in rounds or quarters)

Pot 1 - USA/Germany / OQT Spain.

Pot 2 - Serbia, Australia, & Latvia

Pot 3 - Canada, France, & Lithuania OQT.
Pot 4 - Japan, South Sudan, Slovenia (or Greece) OQt.

Likely 7 Euro teams.

Just getting to the quarter finals could be tough going. USA and Canada would be

in separate pools.

USA/France/Slovenia would be a tough draw.

Teams will be hoping to draw Japan or South Sudan out of Pot 4.
Probably higher odds of the USA pool drawing Greece/Slovenia out of Pot 4.

If Australia draws in the USA Pool, then can probably expect France/Lithuania and

Slovenia/Greece. Ouch!

The draw gets interesting if there are any upsets at the Olympic qualifying tournaments.

If the schedule is the same as it was for Tokyo, that men's the US men will play their first game on July 28th and then the women, who are designated for either group B or C will play their first game on the 29th.  That sets it up so both the men and the women are playing on the middle weekend.  Very much a broadcast consideration.
