Ι never understood why Davidovac is even on that team tbh
I watched him play a few times with Zdezda, he isn't bad at anything but not particularly good at anything either

Not yet, still 16 men. They play against France in France on friday then fly to Abu Dhabi for a pair of friendlies, my guess is that they'll cut the roster to 12 before leaving for the UAE.

@jin

The question was to our fellow serbs posters. I know they are still 16 but Jovic and Davidovac are injured and precisely i was wondering who they will play at the forward positions if both are not available (my guess would be that they move Bogdanovic at the wing then use rotations like Dobric/Guduric but i 'd rather have their own answer)

You should add that schedule image to the first post. We are gonna get a lot of confusion about game times.

Our PG and SG spots are perhaps the best in the world, but damn is our frontcourt looking short on talent - literally and figuratively.

I still cant shake being bothered by Joel Embiid joining the team. It bugs me for some reason, so much that i’m considering rooting against team USA. I think I feel about this the way most people felt about KD joining the Warriors. But worse somehow.

How do you about Joel as a player lol?

I also think it's weird that he's on the team, but I don't mind. Still cheering for the squad.

As a player he’s one of the best big men ever. Can do everything.

As a man? No respect whatsoever.

I think he’s the type of person that would always take the easiest way possible and is a frontrunner, so the thought of him enjoying a gold medal after rejecting a team that needs him for a team that doesnt and is probably going to win anyway rubs me the wrong way. I feel like its a very Joel Embiid thing to do, even if he hasnt done it before. It just fits his personality.
