Anyone else missing from this German roster? Their defense is really something in that they can adjust to the quicker teams (USA, Canada, etc) but has the size if the other team wants to go big...
Hartenstein, Kleber? Of course Serbias misses are on another level, but do not go full AMerican with B team excuse. It is what it is, Last years Serbian team was stacked, didnt even make medal stage, you never know how things would have turned with different variables.
No no, i was wondering how strong they'll be for the Olympics in case they have other major changes in this roster (but why though since they just got the World Cup)
Kleber didn't make the team because he chose to sit out last year. If someone gets injured, I could see him replacing one of the bigs, but I just don't see why they would leave Voigtmann or Thiemann off the team just cause Kleber is an NBA player. They both have more experience in these situations and showed they belong.
As for Hartenstein, he has bee left off teams by design ever since he was a potential youth national player. Apparently, his ego was just too much to deal with.
