While the NBA sits in the doldrums of late summer, across the Atlantic Ocean the continent of Europe prepares for one of their biggest basketball tournaments, the EuroBasket. The action kicked off in the wee hours of this morning with Slovenia topping Poland and the games will continue for just over a fortnight with the tournament culminating in a championship game on September 17th.
There are two members of the Denver Nuggets organization that are playing in Eurobasket. The most recognizable is second year forward Juancho Hernangomez who expects to be a prominent part of the rotation for favorites Spain.
