#6 Joe Ingles
Though he is mostly a bench star for the Utah Jazz, Joe Ingles is one of the leaders of the Australian men's basketball team flush with NBA talent. After reaching the semifinals in Rio in 2016, they are looking to go one better this time and have a tight-knit group of weapons on offense.
Coming off another highly efficient campaign for the Jazz, Ingles will be the one to watch out for Australia's opponents.
In their opening exhibition match against Argentina, in which the Aussies prevailed 87-84, Ingles poured in 16 points, grabbed three boards and two steals. Per 36 minutes in the 2021 NBA campaign, Ingles had his most efficient season on offense, grabbing 12 points per game and shooting at 45% from downtown - the highest of his career.
As one of the most experienced sides at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics outwith Team USA, Australia will feel like they have a good chance of progressing from their group that contains Germany and Nigeria. Ingles' continued accuracy and consistency will be essential to that success.
#5 Damian Lillard
As arguably the only true point guard on Team USA going to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Damian Lillard can expect to have plenty of playing time in Popovich's lineups. The 30-year-old will be hoping to leave all of the trade rumors surrounding his future in Portland behind him when the side travels to Japan at the end of this month.
He is coming off the back of an immense playoff series against the Denver Nuggets in which he averaged 34 points and 10 assists. Nevertheless, his efforts were not enough to carry the Trail Blazers through. With the side's appointment of Chauncy Billups as the new head coach, Lillard's future has been brought into question.
#4 Rudy Gobert
Leading the French team at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will be another of the Utah Jazz' stars from this season, Rudy Gobert. The NBA's Defensive Player of the Year is his national side's best player and will provide nightmares for opposing big men in the paint due to his elite shot blocking and rim protection.
The French team will be considered medal contenders and will have an early chance to test themselves against Team USA in the group stage of the tournament. In the 2019 FIBA World Cup, France finished with a bronze medal.
