Olympics Men’s Basketball Quarterfinals: Croatia vs Serbia

The usual suspects when it comes to the Olympics men’s basketball competition made it to the quarterfinals of Rio 2016. However, two of the more up-and-coming teams also made it in Croatia and Serbia. Croatia vs Serbia promises to be a huge matchup between two of the best young international teams in the world. The question is which of the two will be playing for a medal and which will have to wait four years to try again.

Croatia at their peaks during the 2016 Olympics have been one of the overall best teams on the floor. Dario Saric has looked like an absolute star at times, a fact Philadelphia 76ers fans won’t soon forget about. Moreover, the likes of Bojan Bogdanovic has been massive with his outside shooting for the Croatians. If both Saric and Bogdanovic can play to their strengths, they can put the Serbian squad on their heels.

On the other hand, Serbia has their own cast of stars that have shined in Rio. Point guard Milos Teodosic has been brilliant at times and provided some nifty highlights both as a passer and scorer. What’s more, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic has been a force that has been able to showcase his game overall. Jokic vs Saric will be the key matchup to watch and whichever young big prevails could propel his team to victory.
