These Canada vs. France predictions fall in line with the chalky host nation that should dominate on both sides of the ball.
If any country has a shot at challenging the USA's longstanding dominance in international women's basketball, it's France. The French's skills will be on full display as they should handle Canada — a solid team — with relative ease.Group B play in Olympic Women’s Basketball begins in what figures to be one of the more competitive brackets of the tournament.
Canada isn’t a bad team by any means, with numerous current WNBA players on the roster including Kia Nurse, Bridget Carleton, and Washington Mystics rookie Aaliyah Edwards. The Canadians also have former W players who make up a formidable frontcourt where they favor a bruising style over finesse basketball — they live in the paint and make their money at the foul line.
Williams has been out of the WNBA spotlight for a while now because a foot fracture ended her 2023 season and the league’s prioritization rule saw her choose to play in Europe over the W in 2024. But Williams is healthy and has All-Defense caliber talent and playmaking chops to boot. Marine is one of those players who constantly tinkers, experimenting in and out of games, which makes her both incredibly entertaining to watch and unpredictable to defend. She shines brightest as an off-ball player, where she is an incomparably gifted shooter off of movement. She can catch a pass at a dead sprint, turn, and fire from a distance better than any current WNBA player.
