It will be interesting to see if a Canadian roster loaded with young nba talent can translate into a great team.Silver medal 2012 Olympics prediction game. -
Talent wise, I would say Canada and Brazil are the favorites assuming both have their full squads. If Brazil officially gets that automatic host country berth, we may not see their full squad in this tournament.Comment

Any news about preliminar rosters/missings? So far saw only Uruguaian one with 15 players there, tho Batista bein' doubtfull due to insurance problems. Also some month ago there were Panamas and DR lists with around 30+ players each, but after that nothing

Canada is highly interesting, they have the talent to win but the international experience is a question. If Brazil gets an auto-spot I can see them qualifying for the Olympics, if not...well it will be something to watch.Pistons: 2021-22 Let the Motorcade begin!!

FIBA playing games with the Brazil auto-spot like they did with GB is a total joke.
Hard to say anything before we know the rosters but never count out Argentina.Originally posted by FedfanOriginally posted by GuTOComment

Let me be the first to count out Argentina. I think they are finished and will not qualify no matter who their roster consists of.Originally posted by JGX View Post
It was a wonderful run for them but they are still relying on players from a decade ago.Silver medal 2012 Olympics prediction game.Comment

The brazilian basketball confederation is a shame. But Nike and Bradesco (2nd biggest brazilian private bank), the sponsors of the team, will pay the debt.Originally posted by Mindozas View Post
If we get the automatic berth, I hope we send the squad that played the pan games to Mexico with just 2 or 3 changes.
Raulzinho, Alex Garcia and Marquinhos would be fine.Comment

I can understand FIBA's position in both situations. GB doesn't really have a basketball team and after the Olympics they seemingly cut funding for the National Team.Originally posted by JGX View Post
Brazil needs to pay what it owes. plain and simple.Comment

No Arroyo. I think I read somewhere that the coach, Rick Pitino, did not see Arroyo on the team since Arroyo is already 36 years old.Comment

Mo Harkless is a nice add. I never knew he was from PR.
When did that happen? Is he naturalized? Wouldn't he need to live there for that?Comment
