#4 Australia
In the buildup to the World Cup, Australia became the first team for 13 years to beat the United States, yet many experts still ruled the Boomers out as contenders in China. However, the team has set out to silence its doubters, and a narrow 100-98 victory over France ensured a 5-0 record heading into the knockout stages.

More importantly, the Australian's will avoid facing the USA in the quarter-finals, and the Boomers have also landed on the opposite side of the draw to Serbia and Argentina. The Australian's defense remains a concern, although with Patty Mills playing some of the best basketball of his career and Joe Ingles doing what he does best, the Boomers will feel that they have a real shot of reaching the Final in Beijing.
