2012 Olympic Basketball Preview: U.S.A. v. France
France is a team that should not be underestimated:
French Starters:
C- Ronny Turiaf
PF- Boris Diaw
SF- Mickael Gelabale
SG- Nicolas Batum
PG- Tony Parker
They sport a talented cast of players, led by Finals MVP Tony Parker and defensive stalwart Nicolas Batum. That duo is joined by an above average group of role players that includes NBA players such as Kevin Seraphin of the Washington Wizards, veteran Boris Diaw, journeyman Ronny Turiaf, and career D-leaguer Mickael Gelabale.
While France does have a lot of talent, they do lack size. Seraphin will be forced into playing center, though he is just 6’9″, and the 6’10″ Turiaf represents the only true center on the squad (The 6’10″ Ali Traore can also play center, but likely won’t see much time in a game of this magnitude).
The lack of size might not be as problematic against the U.S. with only Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love patrolling the paint, but it will cause problems on the interior, and the Americans have plenty of players to slash to the hole. Russell Westbrook in particular could potentially feast on the weak interior defense of the Frenchmen.
