France for first, Jordan for last seems rock solid. Germany looked more solid than the Dominican in qualifying but I have no idea if that carries over.

Do you know anything about the participation of James Feldeine or KAT? Without them Germany should be favorite.

does no one have any information on KAT? That's really weird.

[Rodrigue Beaubois]

I heard somewhere that he declined to play, but I can't find the article.

I don’t know who was actually holding their breath that he would play. He hasn’t played for the DR since he was 17 years old. I always take the I’ll believe it when I see it attitude when it comes to players of his caliber when it comes to anything less than the Olympics.

Elie Okobo added to French roster as a replacement for Heurtel.

[Mojado]

No KAT, no Horford just a bunch of mediocre players. Expect the Dominicans to compete for the third place in group. https://elnuevodiario.com.do/rd-pres...ial-fiba-2019/

I'm really liking the chances of Germany right now. If they can surprise France on the first day they will change the balance of power of this group and group L (2nd round) as well. Schröder looks unstoppable and Germany's bigs can minimise the impact of Gobert. Considering that the second round is going to be a royal rumble (as this group will likely feature Lithuania and Australia), that single game can prevent France from advancing to QFs.

Quite likely the most important match for both, on the first day. Looking forward to it.

After the last Eurobasket I thought Šroder was a superstar. Every time I watched him playing for OKC he was lighting up the floor and then suddenly get benched I just didn't get it.

[greenarcher]

No tune-up games for Germany?

To put it straight: He is a pretty horrible defender, despite having awesome physical tools to do well in that area. Moreover he is more or less useless upside the ball as he used to have the completely wrong attitude in that situations. For sure he put his game in that part on a completely new level next to Westbrick last season, but this means from non existent to lousy.

On FIBA level, especially in our roster, his strengths are a better fit from my point. Due to a lack of ballhandlers (Schröder, Lo) and our weakspot, the shooting guard positioned, he gets the green light to dominate the ball and playing nonstop in the attack mode. This leads to a beast, who is one of the best scorers at the tournament, maybe even the most gifted. In the NBA he is due to his player-profile a blessing and a curse, on FIBA court wearing the german national jersey, he is definitely a significant blessing.

@greenarcher: We gonna play against Australia, I guess this will be our first and last position fixing.

Of course. We beat Sweden, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Tunesia and Australia, and lost one against Japan.

[JGX]

Al Awadi thrown out of the game for a not-quite-a-punch to Liz, while Liz gets away with a regular unsportsmanlike for an elbow to the face.

[JGX]

Al-Dwairi/Düverioğlu giving the Dominican bigs a clinic, singlehandedly Jordan in the game.
