Spain (13.350*) come into the tournament as one of the favourites despite the absence of their talisman and former FIBA World Cup-winning captain Pau Gasol, arguably one the greatest ever Spaniards to play the game of basketball. His brother Marc however is available and will be brimming with confidence having just won the NBA Championship. Spain can also call on fellow NBA players Ricky Rubio (Phoenix Suns), Juan (Denver Nuggests) & Guillermo ‘Willy’ Hernangomez (Charlotte Hornets).
