Greece vs Germany: Prediction
Without Giannis Antetokounmpo on their roster, Greece doesn't project to be a powerhouse in the upcoming FIBA World Cup. Germany, meanwhile, has multiple NBA talents to call upon and will be led by the impressive Franz Wagner and veteran guard Dennis Schroder.
Last summer, the Germans impressed at the EuroBasket tournament and will look to build on those performances at the World Cup. With multiple NBA talents on their roster, it's difficult to look past them.
The German team is deeper, more skilled, and has a ton of experience playing together during international competitions. Hence, the Greeks may be in for their fourth straight loss in their tune-up game schedule.
Greece vs Germany: Players to watch
For Germany, Dennis Schroder, Franz Wagner, Daniel Thies and Isaac Bonga will be the players to watch as they utilize their NBA level skills to stand out above the crowd. Germany has a solid system in place to accentuate the talents of their best players and will likely feature Schroder and Wagner as often as possible.
Without Antetokounmpo not on their roster, Greece will be forced to rely on their team system and overall connectedness, as they don't have a standout star to lead the line.
