The announcement of the Spanish pre-selection for theEurobasket 2022 will not fail to make talk on the other side of the Pyrenees since Sergio Scariolo went to the end of his ideas by selecting Lorenzo Brown, an American leader whose naturalization is a lot of talk.
In this list, no Gasol brothers, nor Serge Ibaka or Nikola Mirotic, but two legends of Iberian basketball like Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Llull. At their side, three NBAers: Juancho and Willy Hernangomez, Usman Garuba.
Like the other selections, Spain will first play two matches in the context of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup, and it will be against Iceland and then the Netherlands. Then, from September 1, the “Roja” will travel to Tbilisi to play the first round of Eurobasket. Placed in group A, Spain will face Bulgaria, Georgia, Belgium, Montenegro and Turkey.
