Coach Aco Petrovic has decided to reward the players that won the Olympic Qualifying tournament in Turin, including all of them in the Croatian national team’s roster ahead of Rio.
Dario Saric, now officially a Philadelphia 76ers player, Bojan Bogdanovic (Brooklyn Nets), Mario Hezonja (Orlando Magic) or Krunoslav Simon (Olimpia Milano) and Miro Bilan (Cedevita) are the ones who will mainly spearhead Croatia’s efforts in the Olympic Games.
There is also experience, in the face of Roko Leni Ukic and Mario Stipcevic and extra bench depth provided by Marko Arapovic and Luka Babic, two players who showed a good deal of talent in last season’s Euroleague.
Here is Croatia’s selection for the Olympics
Marko Arapovic | Luka Babic | Miro Bilan | Bojan Bogdanovic |
Mario Hezonja | Filip Kruslin | Darko Planinic | Zeljko Sakic |
Dario Saric | Krunoslav Simon | Rok Stipcevic | Roko Leni Ukic |
