FRA vs ITA Dream11 FIBA EuroBasket Projections, Stats & Analysis

Can Italians spring another surprise?

Courtesy of Marcu Spissu’s unprecedented 22 points night and a strong long-range galore, Italy made 16 of their three-point attempts out of 38. Apart from Spissu, the team received praiseworthy performances from Simone Fontecchio, Nicolo Melli, and Achille Polonara in what was a masterful offensive showing. Italy’s tendency to keep scraping and move the ball around was in full flow. But surely, Marcu Spissu turned the game in their favor after having some off nights.

France’s golden chasm of Rudy Gobert enables them to seal the paint, get tough rebounds, and also some incredible rim play. Having played a bunch of thrillers, the team knows how to hold its breath and get it done. Evan Fournier gives a big scoring punch as the off-guard but in all honesty, the Guard-Forward play hasn’t been as consistent on the offensive end and the team relies heavily upon their enviable defense, anchored by Gobert. The shooting of Italy can test France but I believe they will have a big advantage inside. Guerschon Yabusele has been doing his bit but the team can end up missing the Finals if they don’t receive consistent Guard/Forward play.,
