FIBA WORLD CUP 2014 TEAM PREVIEW - ARGENTINA

Posted on at


Without their star player Manu Ginobili to join the lineup who is advised to take some rests because of 2 year back to back championship appearance in the NBA and still healing his stress fracture injury in his right leg, Team Argentina still has more bullets to perform great in this coming FIBA World Cup. Pablo Prigioni , Andres Nocioni and Luis Scola are the key players of Team Argentina.  The team’s depth will be their lack of strong centers. The team has an average height of 6’6” and 27 years old with its players. Not as strong as the previous line ups, Team Argentina will still battle and prove they are not rank 2 in FIBA Europe and rank 3 in the world only for nothing. Team Argentina will join Croatia, Greece, Philippines, Puerto Rico and Senegal in Group B. Below is the team roster and upcoming schedules:
