After four long years, the FIBA Women's World Cup is finally back. USA and China will open up their campaigns against each other on Friday.
Team USA is heavily decorated at this tournament, having won nine out of the last 12 and four consecutive World Cups. With another stacked roster, the Americans are heavy favorites once again. WNBA stars Napheesa Collier, Breanna Stewart, Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Chelsea Gray and more headline the squad.
While China's lineup might not be as star-studded as the USA's, they will have some impressive height on their side. On China's roster are Liberty center Han Xu who stands at 6-foot-8 and Wings center Li Yueru, who is 6-7. China's overall height could definitely cause some trouble for Team USA on offense.
