I agree that such tournament would be fairest way, but think about those teams, players, who must play two serious tournaments during one summer and that AQT (additional qualifying tournament) it's not like friendlies, you want it or not, you must have usual preparation camp,friendlies before AQT to get ready to it, to pick the best players, just like before WC, so that means that players after long clubs' season, almost without a break should join NT camps. Maybe such problem exist only in Europe, maybe in other continents not, cause I'm not familiar with all the competitions closely and when they're starting/finishing.
And it's way too long, players might get tired, might pick the best shape in AQT and then they won't be at their best in final tournament and etc.
I think FIBA should get rid at all this wildcards thing. Share those free places to continents somehow and that's all. Maybe it should be based on last WC and OG results, maybe some other criterias and let the teams decide it in local champs
