Australia has eight current NBA players, counting Jack McVeigh, who’s headed to the Houston Rockets this season. Greece has Giannis. Spain is the No. 2 country in FIBA’s world rankings and boasts a roster with tons of experience in major international tournaments.
Any of those three nations emerging with the top spot from this group wouldn’t be shocking, but we’re going with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Canadian squad.
Fresh off a second-place finish in 2023-24 MVP voting, SGA’s offense has looked every bit as smooth in international play as it did in the NBA. And he’s leading a roster with 10 active NBA players, including Jamal Murray.
With those two, Andrew Nembhard and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Canada may have the second-best guard corps in the tournament.
The advantage, ultimately, is about SGA, though. As good as Group A is, there isn’t really an individual defender outside Canada’s roster who can really bother Gilgeous-Alexander, who’ll likely average around 20 points with his three-level scoring and ability to get to the line.
