World Basketball News: France have officially revealed their squad for the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. France must agree not to be reinforced by Victor Wembanyama who is focused on preparing for his inaugural season with the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA.
As one of the strongest teams in the world, France bring a strong enough squad to compete in the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 this time. Several names of senior players such as Nicolas Batum, Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier have been brought back. The hope is that they can cover the hole left by Victor Wembanyama.
Here is the complete French team that will compete in the 2023 World Cup:
1. Sylvain Francisco (wife)
2. Nando de Colo (LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne)
3. Frank Ntilikina (Dallas Mavericks)
4. Elie Okobo (AS Monaco)
5. Evan Fournier (New York Knicks)
6. Jacoba Ouattara (AS Monaco)
7. Terry Tarpey (AS Monaco)
8. Nicolas Batum (Los Angeles Clippers)
9. Guerschon Yabusele (Real Madrid)
10. Mathias Lessor (Panathinaikos Athens)
11. Fall of Moustapha (Olympiacos Piraeus)
12. Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves)
For the 2023 World Cup tournament this time, Les Bleus will be joined in Group H. France will face other strong teams like Canada, Latvia and Lebanon. Group H itself is one of the groups that will take part in the Indonesia Arena. Even though they are a solid team and favorites of several parties, France certainly cannot underestimate their opponents this time. Even if they qualify from the group stage, France could face Spain and Brazil in the second round.
