Australia vs France Rosters
Australia Roster
Josh Giddey is the new face of Basketball Australia as he makes his Olympic debut following an impressive run at the 2023 FIBA World Championship. Giddey will be joined by NBA veterans Joe Ingles, Patty Mills, Matthew Dellavedova and Jock Landale.
Dyson Daniels and Josh Green are a couple of youngsters expected to take over the Boomers squad in the next few years. However, one player omitted from the 12-man roster is Portland Trail Blazers swingman Matisse Thybulle, who is among the best perimeter defenders in the world.
France Roster
Unlike Australia, France doesn't have a lot of players in the NBA. Victor Wembanyama is making his Olympic debut and should be ready to take over the international stage. Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier and Nicolas Batum, as well as youngsters Bilal Coulibaly and Matthew Strazel, should provide plenty of support,
Les Bleus' main strength is their familiarity with each other's game. They might not have the best roster at first glance but are still a formidable team that could finish in the Top 3. They also have the homecourt advantage since the Olympics will be held in Paris, France.
Australia vs. France Prediction
France is favored to beat Australia on Sunday despite being on a three-game losing streak.
Prediction: Should be a close matchup with France getting a narrow victory.
