France has a very good team, and as you said, they won silver at the Olympics. Here they can hope for a medal, of course there are some very strong teams in my opinion the main favorites are Serbia and Germany, but we’ll see. Honestly, I can’t wait for the competition to start.
Yes they would definitely be in the quarter-finals or semi-finals but there's also strong team especially the Serbia where Nikola Jokić will going to participate. Actually, I'm not sure if France will going to be in the finals considering that Wembanyama, is not going to play due to injury and we all know Wembanyama did a lot and has a really huge impact in the olympics and this might affect the team's performance which might hinder them to be included in the finals.
So far France is still showing a decent game without Wemby since other player cover Wemby absence like Massa that is very efficient against Croatia.
They belong to Group D which Slovenia is their only top rival on the top spot. Current Slovenia sometimes have a bad game so they have a chance to beat them on their group.
Serbia, Germany and Spain are top contender if I will pick a team for an outright bet.
