MADRID, 16 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The German team will be the last obstacle that Spain will have to play the Eurobasket 2022 final despite the fact that it was something that seemed very far away in the initial forecasts. It will not be an easy task, since it is one of the teams that is playing the best, led by NBA players like Dennis Schroeder or Franz Wagner. Next, we analyze the members of their workforce and their main threats.
1. Dennis Schroeder. The 29-year-old point guard turned Thursday, who is looking for a team in the NBA for next season, is the top scorer of the players who are still alive in the Eurobasket. He is the great leader of his team, scoring more than 20 points per game and he is also the one who manages the rhythm of the team and distributes more than 7 assists per game, which explains why he is always playing more than 30 minutes. .
2. Franz Wagner. At 21, the young player is being the great revelation of the tournament. The 2.08m forward for the Orlando Magic is averaging 16.3 points per game in his first major international tournament, even scoring 32 in the overtime win against Lithuania, where he stepped up to be one of the most important players for Gordon Herbert. He averages over 50 percent on the 3-point shot.
3. Daniel Theis. The third NBA player on the roster and one of the main strongholds of this team both in defense and character. Without having to put up big numbers in scoring, the Indiana Pacers player has already had the difficult job of defending people like Rudy Gobert or Giannis Antetokounmpo despite the fact that he arrived at the Eurobasket ‘touched’. Against Greece he took 16 rebounds with his 2.04.
4. Johannes Voigtmann. The center of CSKA Moscow is one of the most talented midfielders in European basketball and in this Eurobasket he is showing why. Despite not having scored very voluminous, he always ensures great rebounding ability and is a threat both inside and shooting from further away.
5. Maodo Lo. The exterior is one of Germany’s lesser-known weapons. He has started off the bench in practically every game and went on to score 21 points against both Lithuania and Hungary. He plays 25 minutes on average, practically the same as the starters, and he amasses enough ball to offload Schroeder. He is the third best German scorer with 12.7 points.
6. Andreas Obst. The former Obradoiro is a shooting guard whose main job is to be a constant threat from the outside. He was a key player in the game against Greece, where he had 21 points with a spectacular 5/7 three-point shooting. He is even starting in some games and he is a player who cannot be released.
7. Nick Weiler-Babb. The Bayern outsider started almost all of the group stage matches, but physical problems caused him to miss matches against Hungary and Montenegro. He came back in the quarterfinals against Greece, but only played ten minutes, far from his previous figures.
8.Johannes Thiemman. The small forward is a player much liked by Gordon Herbert and averages more than 20 minutes per game. The one from Alba Berlin is having a great Eurobasket, where he has reached double figures in scoring against France, Bosnia and Greece.
9. Niels Giffey. The Zalgiris player is having plenty of opportunities in this Eurobasket, where he scored 13 points against France and 19 against Hungary. He is a small forward and, although he can score, he is more focused on other tasks when he is on the floor.
10. Jonas Wolfarth-Bottermann. The pivot was even a starter against France in his debut, but he hasn’t had much continuity. The Hamburg Towers player is not on the court much, seven minutes per game, and he is used as a backup to avoid losing defense and rebounding when the important players are not on the court.
11. Christian Sengfelder. The interior is the last option for Herbert in the interior rotation. He has only played in two games, against Hungary in the group stage, where his team was already qualified, and one minute against Greece in the quarterfinals. However, against the Magyars he took advantage of it with 22 points.
12. Justus Hollatz. The young player, who will play for Breogán in Lugo next season, is a point guard who has barely set foot on the court in this Eurobasket. After not playing the first four games, he had 26 minutes in the inconsequential duel against Hungary and took the court for a scant minute against Greece.
