I can see it now, probably browser issue or who knows. I thought some rules for the draw will be in the spoiler

Also, too bad for Brazil Splitter will not play.

Yes, our basketball is not in a good moment 

About the draw, will be boring without the teams of Olympic Qualifying Tournaments.

I don't want to jinx it but i think Serbia, France and Italy/Greece will qualify. Brazil has problem with youngers players, you have big gap between generations... And it was probably expected that one of Varejao/Nene/Splitter isn't going to be healthy. Also they are not playing in some very good form, too bad. Rio olympics come probably 4 years late for your team

Exactly. Even in the last World Cup Brazil was good, but now it seems that passed the "expiration date."
