Key Players

Germany

Franz Wagner: The ink on his new 5-year, $224 million max extension with the Magic still not dry, Wagner has been impressive in these Olympics for his home country. Wagner is the sixth-leading scorer across all competitors in this year's games, scoring 19.5 points a game heading into the clash for the Group B crown.

Moe Wagner: Right alongside his younger brother Franz, Moe Wagner is scoring 11.5 points and grabbing 5.5 rebounds per game over the first two Olympic outings for the FIBA-ranked third-best team in the world.

Dennis Schroder: The German flag bearer during the opening ceremony to this year's Olympics has also been the engine of the reigning world champions' offense. Scoring 16.5 points a game, his 9.0 assists per game leads all players in the Olympics.

France

Victor Wembanyama: The No. 1 overall selection in the 2023 NBA draft, Wembanyama is putting on a show in his initial Olympic appearance. Through two group play games, Wembanyama is the host nation's leading scorer, pouring in 18.5 points a game. He's also grabbing 10 rebounds and swatting 2.5 shots per outing thus far.

Rudy Gobert: The other half of the towering French interior defense, the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year is making his presence felt each time Les Blues take the floor. His 7.0 point, 9.0 rebound and 2.0 block per game averages may not be the most eye-popping stat lines, but in lockstep with the most recent NBA Rookie of the Year, they form an intimidating rim protection tandem.

Nicolas Batum: Still providing valuable impact at the international level at 35 years of age, the newly signed Clipper is scoring 12.0 points a game as the French's second-leading scorer in these Olympics and is playing the most minutes for the host nation.
