Spain has a very good team with tons of talent and Lithuania has an interesting team to watch too.

Bogut is in shape and Dellavedova/Patty Mills is a pretty good backcourt.

That's a bit surprising though considering France's team started Parker, Batum, Diaw and Gobert. Especially that they got beat by more than 20.

That's what they get for dogging out Fournier.
Apparently Batum looked completely half assed.

He never seemed comfortable in this situation and now he almost carried us to a VERY long shot victory by himself.
He'll be a huge leader for our young guards.
RIO DE JANEIRO – Leandro Barbosa is a symbol of hope in the Olympic host country. He is proof that you can escape the hard life, outrun poverty, make it all the way to the NBA.
But fame hasn’t always been kind to the Brazilian Blur.
That’s probably why he looked exhausted after Brazil’s debut on Sunday, which resulted in an 82-76 loss to Lithuania. It wasn’t that his team felt hometown pressure, falling behind by 29 points before staging a furious rally.
It was because he once again felt the warm embrace of the home crowd, treated like the role model he is to countless Brazilian children.
“It means a lot,” Barbosa said. “The way the fans were today … I’ll never forget that.”

Delly definitely looks better than I gave him credit for, plus he and Patty Mills are both young enough and with the other young guys you've mentioned hopefully joining the team, the Aussie 2020 Olympic basketball team should be strong.
