I can say there is no chance for Jordan and Korea. in Group D Philippines sometimes get hot and shoot the ball like crazy but I think Serbia and Italy are too much for them. I think Iran is the only Asian team with the realistic chance of advancing and even that is a very slim chance. so China only have to go to the 2nd round to qualify for the Olympics.

And I'm very sure Australia won't be the drop out from H, it will be LTU or CAN for me. Also to watch out: Nigeria in group B and Dominican Republic if they bring Horford and Anthony Towns. thepharoah and mrv86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenad 352 Posted March 16, 2019 #225 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's impossible to project anything until we know what kind of rosters will be available in China. One player can make all the difference, Gianis for example moves Greece from solid team to a great one, and especially in group H there are ton of questionmarks on CAN and AUS teams, they have really big amplitude of uncertainty in terms of players who could play and those who will play for sure. So, I would currently put AUS and LTU ahead of CAN, cause we don't know the teams and to be honest CAN was nowhere in the last decade, so it's just a potentialy good team for now.

I also don't think Australia is the one being eliminated in the first round. but then Lithuania and Canada are also very strong. those 3 teams are medal favorites. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepharoah 2,264 Posted March 16, 2019 #227 Share Posted March 16, 2019 it's a pity yes that we're going to miss one team of Australia , Canada and Lithuania , but for sorry this's the draw , i think we should also wait for final rosters of each team , many things can change based on how many NBA players each country could bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada (Barrett, Murry, Wiggins) and Australia (Simmons, Baynes, Ingles) have both more individual quality. I think Brazil also has more individual quality than New Zealand, but their team has gotten old, lets see if all of their best players will compete. I think group F is the most interesting overall. Montenegro, Brazil and New Zealand all could finish second in that group. In group G Germany and France are favorites, but you cant underestimate Puerto Rico, they have 2 great NBA players in Towns and Horford. I think semifinals will be: Spain or Italy vs. USA Serbia vs. Greece/Lithuania/France/Canada/Australia/Germany/Turkey Should be a crazy fight between Greece/Lithuania/France/Canada/Australia/Germany/Turkey to avoid USA in the quarterfinal. thepharoah 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

intoronto 4,077 Posted March 16, 2019 #230 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Wiggins has refused to compete for Canada in previous tournaments, and his presence would ruin the chemistry of the team. Don't think he shoud play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
