Serbia did better without Jokic. Greece does better without Giannis.

For the 30 or so years prior to Giannis joining the Greek NT, they were always ranked between 3rd and 10th in the world, and were most of the time ranked in the top 4-6. Now, after all these years with Giannis, they are down to 14th..............
So for Canada? Would you also “blame” their rise in rankings to their NBA players? Just wondering…

One bronze medal and they have jumped to 6 spot, where they were last ten years Why is Australia above Serbia, what did they accomplish in the last ten years too The USA didn't win the medal in either World Cup or U19 WC this summer. What is FIBA criteria for the rankings anyway

Well to Canada, they didn't just win bronze, they also beat Spain and USA along the way, the current top 2 teams, as well as France, Latvia and Slovenia, while teams like France, Argentina, Slovenia and Italy fell pretty hard because of losses.
So at the time they beat 4 of the 7 top ranked teams with Argentina not even being there, and being the World Cup has the most weight, it gave them a good boost.
Also, France, Lebanon, Latvia (who I remind you finished 5th), Spain, Brazil, Slovenia, Serbia, and USA is a hell of a schedule.
