Ok, here is my ranking of the teams:
1. US ok did not have to think to much about this one. However, we played probably the 3 worst teams in the exhibition games so comp will get tougher.
2. Spain lot of the players getting up there in age, but lots of NBA talent here.
3. France Parker,DeColo,Batum,Diaw,Gobert very good starting lineup, but bench not that great.
4. Serbia No Bobo or Bjileca but enough talent for 4th. Teodosic had a finger injury so if that keeps him out I would drop Serbia.
5. Lithuania JV and Sabonis up front will be tough. Just need some good guard play and they could challenge for 2nd.
6. Brazil Think homecourt will put them up a few spots from where they would be otherwise. Neto has been good for them in friendlies. 6-9 is very close.
7. Argentina Old guys can still play. Have a few younger players who have stepped it up the last couple of years.
8. Australia--Bogut back should help if the rust is off. There will not be a scrappier team than the Boomers.
9. Croatia--great job playing into the Olympics, but PGs are bad and not a lot of depth up front. Dario and Mario should have big Olympics.
10. Venezuela--Amazing they are in Olympics in first place beat a Canadian team with lots of NBA guys.
11. Nigeria--Unfortunately, there biggest players decided not to play including Ezeli and Aminu.
12. China--Won easy Asian championship to get in Olympics. That will have to suffice.
