my guess on what ranking may happen in ABC
1. Lebanon- they've been to WBC and sure has a lot of experience. with china using team b, makes them vulberable hence,asia's #1 contender becomes the #1. if they got through european 3rd placer France why cant it beat other asian teams?they must avoid overconfidence and fight hard as if they were the underdog always.
2.Iran-the team has improved a lot and had surprised japan and korea last asian games.they must have gained confidence from that but still less compared to lebanon. also their asset is height.
3-4. japan/philippines/korea-
japan's homecourt advntage can boost them but still not enough for them to win the gold.they're still stagnant and no improvement has been seen .
Philippines, has improved a lot too. it's starting to play the international kind of game and relies on quickness&outside shooting. but absence for 5yrs had given chance teams like lebanon and iran to learn more and surpass us. we're having problems also in height.
as for korea, their team is mysterious and may shock other teams so they shud not be taken for granted. their performance in asian games was kinda dissapointing tho.
************************************************** *******
Now,China for me has no place given that theyll use team B.if im not mistaken, most of its players must still be kinda immature of international games and have little confidence. expose their team B more in intl' games, they can get a place in the next ABC.
