I believe that Germany is the best team in Europe, BUT :
- Jokic + crazy shooters + good hands inside players
- Greece at home (at the beginning of the championships)

- France is remaking a team (and a coach, don't forget it !)
- Spain is ... out ???
- Slovenia would make 1/4 finals often, but not very much more

Now, I haven't seriously followed this eurobasket and I don't know very well all the non-participants, except for France (Wemby) because of NBA.
My favourite now is Germany, because of this awful clown named Schröeder (I don't like him, but what a player !) and the Wagner brothers.

Yes I saw the 1p win. This time around for sure loss.
Finland on a roll!

Trainer is to keep old to not age.

I got boycot from last time in top div.

Been like that all times.
Sad way to do the game.
They should keep tabs on from where you come (under) and look at the entire season and lower the demands on a new team.

Yes, France with Wemby alone would definitely have been terrifying for any other team.

What I think that Germany's strength right now is the depth of the team. They don't really have to rely on one or a couple of superstars to perform (although Schröder and Wagner do stand out). Instead they have really decent players for every position, with 3-4 players coming from the bench, who are also able to perform nicely. And they are also missing a couple of strong players from the squad.

As I said, if I had to bet, my money would be on Germany, but personally I am rooting for our good neighbors from the north and hope that Markkanen will carry them through to the final.
