You have seen the stars, the rookies, the absences, the rosters of Group A and B, and those of Group C and D, the format, and the schedule, plus we have a guide for those who are not really familiar with the Eurobasket but want to get into it (yes, casual NBA fan, we mean you).
So what’s left? A preview for each group and of course, the predictions for those making it to the Round of 16 and more.
With the top four teams of each group qualifying for Berlin, the first phase it’s not only about the teams making it to the knockout games, but will also decide who will face who until the title game.
So what happens in the first game may come to haunt you later down the road.
