@Androslav and @Ederson
Thanks for your kind words, TP for you both.
The final, as you were expecting, will be Slovenia-Serbia. Had they not splitted, a Yugoslavian team now could challenge the USA national team.
I saw a Serbian poster today (not in the Forums) saying that a Yugoslav team would basically be a full strength Serbia with an excellent bench - maybe he was just trolling the Slovenes and Croats (and Bosnians and Macedonians who have some good players too) but I thought that was something to ask here.
How much better than Serbia do you think a united Yugoslavia would be?
In the same thread, I saw that Serbs congratulated Slovenes for the win against Spain, and were genuinely happy for their success. That was great to see.
You'd take the Serbian team and add Dragic, Doncic, Bogdanovich (probably), Saric, and Vucevic. I think Dragic, Doncic, and Vucevic all start for the Yugoslavia team. I really like Radoncic from Montenegro too, although I don't think he makes the team for a couple of years.
My 12 (5g/5f/2c) would be:
Dragić (Slovenia) - above average starting NBA PG
Bogdanović (Serbia) - spaces, can defend much better than Teo
Dončić (Slovenia) - the defense would suffer, but he spaces and creates (Kalinić and Cro Bogdanović are my close 2nd choices) recency bias
Šarić (Croatia) - best NBA 4 body out of the bunch, energy guy, passer
Jokić (Serbia) - Point Center, The Joker has many tricks
Teodosić (Serbia) - he can make any offense great.
Bogdanović (Croatia) - spaces, scores, NBA body
Kalinić (Serbia) - can defend, run, good BBIQ and shoot some/corner threes
Teletović (BIH)- spaces as good as anybody
Nurkić (BIH)/Marjanović (Serbia)/Vučević (MTNG) - one of the behemoths
Jović
Marković - good 4th and 5th guards
This squad could realy use defenders to cover combo forwards. Someone like an idealy/perfectly developed Bender. But then again, the passing (especially) and shooting is so sweet, I can't even comprehand. The offense wins championships now and this roster has it.
USA would need a good game to beat them as 1 game is a tricky thing when facing an exposive offense.
