Australia has it so easy to make the Olympics. Just beat NZ and they are in. Shame on them if they fail. Dont even believe Steve Adams plays for the NZ national team so they just got to beat a KY recruit. Should be easy.

So France is going to the Finals and Germany is getting elminated in the Group Stage?

I would not be so quick to put them in. Looks like most French players headed the call of the national team, but Serbia, Turkey, Lithuania, Spain, Croatia, Greece, Slovenia should be pretty good. Italy has 4 NBA'ers playing and should score a ton of points, but will alas give up 150 a game.

Agreed .. bit of a joke really. Like when we used to have to play all the pacific island countries to qualify for the Olympics in soccer.... Fiji took a few 22-Nil pummelings lol

Yeah but nowadays Oceania only has 1/2 a place in football so you have to go up against one of the South American team to qualify.


Australia was smart enough to join the Asian group and do it that way.

Tai is playing.

Another UK recruit is playing for Canada (Pan Am)Jamal Murray. Youngest player to play in the games since the 70's.

Thanks PKM for the info.

Gobert and Pleiss head to head August 30th.... Hopefully Gobert doesn't destroy all Tibor's confidence.

What is funny on the Eurobasket website in discussing the French roster they do not even mention Gobert. Guess the writer is more up on Euro ball than NBA.

Has Ben Simmons been playing with the Aussie junior teams? Wonder if he will play for the national team in the future?

What about Lyles? Is he in the plans of the Canadian national team?

I've heard no, but I wouldn't call it definitive.

I have not seen a roster yet for Fiba Americas yet. I know they are trying to get Wiggins, T Thompson, and Olynk at the very least to play.
