Canada Team News

Canada comes to this championship with an ever-stronger team, led by a pair of NBA players. First of all, we should single out Oklahoma’s ALL-Star, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is the real leader of this team and is expected to lead Canada to the medal and the very top. Besides him, there are other experienced NBA players like Kelly Olynik, RJ Barrett, Lu Dort, Dillon Brooks, and Dwight Powell. A very high-quality and solid representation. They miss Jamal Murray, who is probably one of the best scorers on the planet. Besides Murray, Andrew Wiggins will not be there either.

A big problem for Canada is the imbalance between the “first” and “second” five since the players coming off the bench are not even close to the quality of the holders. For example, Canada’s team includes Trae Bell-Haynes, who played for Buducnost from Podgorica this season, as well as Melvin Ejim, also a well-known face from the ABA floor. Still, we expect SGA to show all of its gorgeous talent and make all of its teammates better. Canada plays attacking basketball at a very fast pace, while they have many shortcomings in defense.

France Team News

France sent the strongest team they currently have to the World Cup. They are led by NBA players Evan Fournier and Rudy Gobert. Athletically and defensively, one of the best teams in the entire tournament. They have been playing together for a long time and are very coordinated.

Fournier is the main attacking option for the French, and he will get a lot of help from the back positions in the form of De Colo and Okobo. However, the greatest strengths of the French national team are the central positions and the defensive potential they have under the basket.

They played seven preliminary matches against very respectable opponents and were only defeated in the last test against Australia. As usual, they play very hard in defense and take over everything, a particularly powerful figure in the racket is Gobert, who covers the entire racket with his arm span.
