A small but mighty nation, the Slovenians hope to recreate their magic from their 2017 EuroBasket Tournament where they were crowned champions. Led by Superstar Luka Doncic, they secured 4th place in the Olympics behind the star power of Luka, and the help of dominant role players such as recently crowned NBA-champion Vlatko Cancar, along with Zoran Dragic, Klemen Prepelic and Mike Tobey. With a Star like Doncic, and a unified team such as Slovenia, they will be one of the heavy favorites moving forward.
Active NBA Players
- Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks)
- Vlatko Cancar (Denver Nuggets)

What to watch
There is not much to say besides amazing things for when this Slovenian suits up for his country. The extra passion, hustle, and effort are clear from top to bottom of Slovenia. With Luka scoring the 2nd-most points in international competitions with 48 points in one game, you can bet he will do the same this year.
