Team Australia played eight exhibition games before Olympic play starts. They lost to France, Australia, and Team USA. The team enters Olympic play with two big wins over Japan and Greece. Most have the team as the #7 overall favorite to win the Gold medal in the 2024 games. In my experience; however, with eight NBA players, you can’t discount their chances to medal.
