During the last month you have followed everything that happened in the training camps around Europe via our Eurobasket 2017 guide.
However, there’s a simple way to measure who is on the right path and who’s not. We took all the results from the prep games and even if you can’t be sure how those games will translate in the official tournament, it’s a good indication at least about team chemistry.
It’s not a surprise that Spain and Serbia despite missing key players are still on the top of the list. In total 13 out of the 14 teams have more wins than defeats. Still, the preparation schedule from team to team has vast differences and the fact, for example, that Lithuania has lost five games and won four, doesn’t make them an easy prey for anyone. On the other hand, it’s clear that Georgia is on the right path and also Finland and Romania, despite being hosts, will not have an easy task
