Here are some of the favorites and the dark horses among the 32 teams competing in the 2023 FIBA World Cup
MANILA, Philippines – The 2023 FIBA World Cup is right around the corner. To be held simultaneously in three countries, it will see 32 teams fight for global supremacy on the hard court.
Leading the charge for the Americans are New York Knicks star guard Jalen Brunson and Minnesota Timberwolves ace Anthony Edwards. Brunson, 26, and Edwards, 22, are projected to be the go-to weapons of Kerr alongside Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr., Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero, and Indiana Pacers’ Tyler Haliburton. The Aussies have never been hungrier for World Cup glory.
The Slovenians’ rise to global basketball excellence has been impeccable with Doncic holding the torch. Doncic will be joined by sharpshooter Klemen Prepelic, Mike Tobey, Jaka Blazic, and Zoran Dragic – brother of NBA player Goran Dragic who recently retired from the national team. Vlatko Cancar is the only other NBA player in the squad.
With this amount of talent in a tough Group H comprised of France, Lebanon, and Latvia, Canada’s road to World Cup success will be an intriguing yet grind-out affair.The Les Bleus have always come close yet so far from the crown. France lost in the gold medal game in Tokyo and fell short again in the championship game of the EuroBasket in 2022. France certainly is hungrier than ever.
