Official website of FIBA-Europe ranks participant teams of EuroBasket.
The Georgian national basketball team is in the last 24th place on a renewed ranking. It was not unexpected because the team of Igor Kokoskov lacks two important players. Here is what FIBA-Europe writes.
“The withdrawal of Tornike Shengelia - who was playing NBA Summer League with the Brooklyn Nets recently - is a massive blow to a squad already missing another influential big man in Zaza Pachulia”.
Spain is leading Group C. The current champion of Europe is in the 4th place on the ranking. Host Slovenia is in the 5th place, Croatia – in the 10th, Poland – in the 17th and Czech Republic – in the 22nd.
Greece, Lithuania and France are leading the ranking. The Greeks have perfect team. Lithuania and France won test games. The Lithuanians defeated Belgium twice (86:61, 66:53) and the French – Finland (101:93) and Germany (89:84).
