So without taking brackets into account, what is your prediction for the Olympics ? Which country do you picture being the main threat to a US repeat ?
France starting 5 is quite interesting :
PG : Parker
SG : Beaubois
SF : Batum
PF : Diaw
C : Noah
Beaubois is clearly the weakest link, but they have some Euro based players (De Colo for example) to cover. And they're loaded in the paint (Seraphin, Mahinmi, Turiaf).
Spain will really suffer from Rubio's injury, I see this competition being the beggining of the end for the Gasol/Calderon/Navarro/Fernandez generation.
All in all, I'd say :
Gold : US
Silver : France
Bronze : Argentina
