Being drawn into Group H means Canada will be in tough at this summer's FIBA World Cup. loung_s explains in his winners and losers from this morning's draw:
That didn’t mean much in the draw, however, as Nigeria got the short end of the stick by being placed into a strong Group B with No. 5 Argentina and No. 10 Russia.
Unfortunately, only one of them is likely going to make it as they both play in Group E with the mighty United States. Another thing to consider is the hometown crowd. Chinese fans across all sports are fiercely loyal and with the team playing in the nation’s capital, China should have overwhelming emotional support to help them when things get tough in games.The No. 2-ranked Spaniards were given a gift in the draw as they’re the only European team in Group C.
Yes, Puerto Rico is a talented team, but Spain should be a cut above and if things go the way they look on paper, the Spaniards should be able to remain relatively fresh heading into Round 2.A winner not because their group is advantaged for them – it’s not – but more so because of a cool milestone.
