BEIJING (FIBA 3x3 World Tour) - Eight from a total 12 FIBA 3x3 World Tour players picked the number one squad in the world Novi Sad Al Wahda (UAE) as the team most likely to win the Bloomage Beijing Final in the Chinese capital on October 28-29 2017.

Anthony Christophe (Monaco, MON), Diguinho (Rio Preto Guarani, BRA), Bikramjit Gill (Hamamatsu, JPN), Jesper Jobse (Amsterdam PM Inox, NED), Hrvoje Marin (Split, CRO), Claudio Negri (Milan, ITA), Zejlko Palavra (Vitez EcosRomari, BIH), Jose Rojas (Malaga, ESP), Luiz Soriani (São Paulo DC, BRA), Luka Snoj (Okayama, JPN), Keita Suzuki (Tokyo, JPN) and Angelo Tsagarakis (Paris, FRA) were asked 3 questions: who do you think will reach the final of the Bloomage Beijing Final? Who will win? Which player will be named MVP?

A whopping 10 players predicted 2-time winners Novi Sad Al Wahda would go all the way to the final and 8 of them said Dusan Bulut's team would become the first team to win the World Tour 3 times.

The second most popular name was Liman (SRB). No less than 9 players see the youngest team in the tournament go all the way to the final. In fact, 7 players have Novi Sad Al Wahda and Liman meet in the championship game but only 1 think Liman can beat the number 1 team in the world. In total, 2 players believe Liman can win it all on their first Final appearance and 7 think they will finish second.

Piran (SLO) got 3 votes: 1 for the title and 2 for runner-up. 

Zemun Master (SRB) were the 4th and last team to be named as potential winners this year.

Last but not least, Riga (LAT) were projected as finalist by one of the 12 World Tour players.

Surprisingly reigning champs and 2-time winners Ljubljana (SLO) weren't nominated a single time despite winning the Saskatoon Masters and finishing second both in Prague and Debrecen this year.

In the MVP poll, 3x3 star Dusan Bulut edged out his team-mate, number one 3x3 player in the world Dejan Majstorovic (4 to 3 votes)
