Which group would Australia bounce back from their 2023 World Cup failure with and try to confirm their bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics? ESPN believes he knows the twelve players who will go to Lille and Paris, and Matisse Thybulle is the big absentee from this squad.
The Blazers player was present during the two competitions already mentioned, but coach Brian Goorjian decided to do without him. Matisse Thybulle and the players concerned were informed of his choices this Thursday, and the official announcement should come this Sunday.
For the rest, it's classic. We find Josh Giddey and the old ones since eight medalists from Tokyo are back: Josh Green, Dante Exum, Jock Landale, Duop Reath, Patty Mills, Joe Ingles, Matthew Dellavedova and Nick Kay.
Fifth participation for the Ingles-Mills duo!
The Bulls' new player plus the medalists, that makes nine players. Three are missing, who will be Dyson Daniels, Jack McVeigh and Will Magnay, who, like Josh Giddey, will be making their Olympic debut this summer.
For Patty Milles and Joe Ingles, it's a habit, with a fifth participation in the Olympics looming, as well as a fourth for Matthew Dellavedova.
As a reminder, Australia will be in Group A, with Canada, and the winner of the OQT in Spain and also in Greece, where Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo will face each other in the semi-final.
