Men's 3x3 Basketball FIBA Olympic Games Qualification Tournament 2021

[Vektor 3,326]

Very embarrassing for the  to miss any basketball event at the Games, especially considering that they won the World Cup in 2019. Come on , you can qualify, and I am totally not rooting for you to make our job easier in Debrecen. Not at all.

Americans have been very unconvincing so far. Latvia are top favorites and with Netherlands going through to the semis...

 

My picks are Latvia, Netherlands, Slovenia and France for semis. 

Poland is in semis instead Slovenia

Why didn't the Americans just choose 3 players from the nba from teams that not in the playoffs?

Because those players would not:

a) be eligible, since they have no points in 3x3 ranking;

b) care about this tournament or the Olympics.

You can't just bring any players you want ?

No, to prevent 5x5 players from just showing up and overrunning the regular competitors, FIBA made a rule stating athletes must compete in a minimum number of events.
