Let’s stop for a moment posts for 2028 USA team for a second. It is being posted like every hour. Lmao

Let’s predict other countries instead.

So, for 2028 olympics, my hot take is France will be the second best team afte USA. (Yes, I think France will surpass serbia in 2028).

Wemby will be like 24-25 ish yrs old. Near his prime. (Pretty much like Luka’s age in the last recent seasons).

Then, you still have young rookies now (sarr, risacher) and future french nba draftee prospects next draft. They will be all in their early 20s come 2028.

Then, I will give Serbia 3rd place. Joker will be 33 yrs old. So, he is still in the latter part of his prime.

4th will be Germany with their chemistry and, their young core will continue to improve

5th is maybe Canada since they are the only country besides USA that can field like 9-10 nba players. (They lack quality big man, and team chemistry though)

So, I will have

1.USA

2.France

3.Serbia

4.Germany

5.Canada

How about you?

Do you think France will be the second best in 2028 olympic basketball?

    If Edey isn’t good they are fucked in 4 years, they just don’t have the big man talent really

      yeah but I think even Edey is not good, they can still play him, as long as Edey is fit for the role, just there to defend and rebound for them

        isn’t edey too slow to defend in the perimeter? Genuine question as I haven’t really watched him outside of highlights but thats the perception im getting

          well yeah that is true but in the olympics you can use him as rim protector and a rebounder, not really in there to score, since Canada had so many players that can score the ball already

          We have some guys coming like Propser who are suited to a FIBA 4-5 role too.  Edey worked pretty hard on his feet and fitness to be a top defender in general.  If he keeps that up he will be a good player.  Difficulty with him is more on offense because you basically have to run through him or he just takes space away from drives and cutters.

          We’ll have better scorers in 28 with Mathurin and Sharpe added in.  Nembhard will be that much more mature as a player.
