MIES (Switzerland) - The defending champions are determined to protect their throne at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023.

They've listed a preliminary roster that features the reigning World Cup MVP Ricky Rubio, reigning EuroBasket 2022 MVP Willy Hernangomez, as well as other familiar standouts from Rudy Fernandez, Sergio Llull, and Juancho Hernangomez.

Then you have some other up-and-coming talents in the NBA like Santi Aldama and Usman Garuba, and you can see why it might be difficult to make that final cut for the team at the upcoming World Cup.

Spain will start the Group Phase in Jakarta against Iran, Cote d'Ivoire, and Brazil.
