While the Argentines pose no threat to the United States for the gold medal, they still boast six players who have either played in the NBA or are currently under contract with an NBA team.
Former Bulls, Kings, and Sixers swingman Andres Nocioni provides Argentina with a steady hand on the perimeter who can knock down an open jumper and plays stout defense. Carlos Delfino, another NBA veteran who played for the Pistons, Kings, Bucks and Rockets shares the backcourt with longtime NBA star Manu Ginobili, who resigned with the Spurs this offseason after nearly signing with the Sixers.
