U.S. hasn't learned it's lesson from 2002
1. Lithuania
This team was the European champion last summer, and though the Lithuanians have been only so-so in exhibitions this summer, they are a young, deep bunch and they are reaching their peak. They have the best point guard in Europe, former Maryland point man Sarunas Jasikevicius, who is an excellent scorer and shooter. He can also get into the lane, which has been a problem for Team USA's defense and won the MVP of last year's European championship.
