I believe it's not coincidence that their only two distinction (medals) came in tournaments that were held in Turkey. They got some very good individuals with Ilyasova headlining the list (at least for FIBA basketball) but they don't have the depth and the experience to do something great and over-achieve. Their strongest weapon is their big guys and the packing of the paint and therefore their effective defense with Asik first and foremost and then Erden and Savas.
I don't know, I'm not sold on them.

We have a strong squad but I also feel something's missing. Still, if we can score 30-35 per cent behind the ark and 75+ per cent at free throws we can easily reach quarter finals I guess.
I trust in the team's defense and willingness that they would play every single game until the last second. However, medal is something beyond that.
I also see some weaknesses at the team but I won'!t share them as a loyal fan ))
I wish a beautiful tournament to all.
