    Thought about it some more and realized all of those players are still playing. Maybe that is why Nurk isn’t on there.

    Either way, the sample size is so small the list is kind of useless. I mean as much as I am pulling for Tyler Dorsey to catch on with an NBA team, I have my doubts. Is he really better than Sabonis?

    Looking at this bracket and the way teams have been playing, I won’t be surprised to see a showdown between the NBA’s most recent MVPs with Greece and Giannis playing Serbia and Jokic

    Greece would move on to play Germany in the quarters, and then the winner of Finland/Spain/Lithuania in the Semis (predicting Finland to win and advance to quarters)

    Serbia would face Slovenia in the semis

    Kind of hilarious that three of the top five players in the NBA all failed to make the semifinals, and it's the old guard (France, Spain), the hosts, and... Poland?

    Spain v France for the Eurobasket championship on Sunday.

    What makes Spain good? They don't have NBA stars

    And of course, France, with the two legit NBA starters, loses badly to a team whose stars are the journeyman Hernangomez brothers...

    This Eurobasket really has shown the value of teamwork and program legacy.

    (Having said that, I can definitely see "Spaniard" Lorenzo Brown get another shot at the NBA.)
