I think only Australia is the sure bet to qualify for the 2027 FIBA WC… but the rest is not sure… Iran might struggle to qualify for 2027 in post Haddadi era… China still struggling with their new generation post Yi era, Zhou Qi become a disappointment right now… NZL is beatable, Jordan already taught us how they can keep up and almost win vs NZL last WC group stages… Japan might be qualify too but depending on the roster in most of qualifier windows… Korea is unknown after series of declining participation in FIBA tournaments and ratliffe is gone after Asian games… we still never know yet… I guess the upcoming Asian games will be the gauge who will be contenders for WC qualifiers 2 years from now…

Is Qatar guaranteed to have a slot in the 2027 WC, or it has to go to series of qualification games like Indonesia? Also, Korea and maybe CT ( a long shot). They are the only countries that can unseat 2 or 3 of this year's WC Asian participants.

Is Saudi Arabia is a rising power in Asia? Bahrain?

One thing for sure is that only Australia is 100% sure they can qualify due to extreme talent that they have while other teams need to work that spot, even NZL is not untouchable… remember they were almost lose to Jordan… that means Asian teams are not afraid of NZL anymore…. China and Iran already regressed, w/ their young core and not as good as their older ones… Bahrain and Saudi might be the dark horse… since their young core that they develop since 2017 will be on their primes come 2025 (marwani bros, Al Suwailem, Kadi and Al Gohar of KSA and Ali, MJ, Hamooda bros of Bahrain)… Gilas, Japan, Jordan, Korea and Lebanon are depending who will be their line up come qualifiers.. especially that 4 out of 6 windows are w/o any NBA caliber players can’t participate… Mongolia should also one team that we should look out too… Their line up last pre qualifiers are not their best team yet… they have 4-5 foreign based Mongolians who playing overseas that can strengthen Mongolia team… Guam should also team to look out for, especially they can easily hire American players have roots in Guam that can recruit anytime… they are still US colony state that only residency will be only use for them just to be eligible as local for Guam…
