2015 FIBA Americas Basketball Preview: Road to Rio
By Jay Rosales
Thanks for Coming Out
Cuba
FIBA Ranking: 58
NBA Players on Roster: None
Outlook: Cuba should come out strong out of the gate and validate their silver medal performance from last month’s Pan Am games…..wait, that was the women?
I have a confession to make. As of this writing, I’m still unsure who Cuba’s final roster will include. You know what? It doesn’t matter!
They’re the lowest ranked team in the tournament and would need a miracle to win a single game. It’s a shame they couldn’t somehow get the Lopez brothers to play (their father is Cuban).
Next: Panama
