The Atlanta Hawks player Bogdan Bogdanovic, who was unable to join Serbia this summer after undergoing knee surgery, talked about the Serbian national team, via Eurohoops:

“I have a lot of faith in our guys. Even when we played in the World Cup. it’s a similar team. There’s energy, chemistry, and something new has awakened. I’m glad we played good and beautiful basketball. The crowd enjoys what we’re doing – extra pass, reading… Everything starts from Jokic. We are the favorites for a medal, I hope we finally get the gold. It’s a very difficult championship. We didn’t succeed in the previous World Cup but now we should enjoy what the guys have prepared for us.”
