10 Players to watch at the world cup

The ten players to watch at the world cup (according to the Advertiser, which I assume is Boti) in no particular order are:

STEPHEN CURRY — USA
JAMES HARDEN — USA
ANTHONY DAVIS — USA
DANTE EXUM — AUSTRALIA
NICOLAS BATUM — FRANCE
SERGE IBAKA — SPAIN
RICKI RUBIO — SPAIN
LUIS SCOLA — ARGENTINA
BOJAN BOGDANOVIC — CROATIA
OMER ASIK — TURKEY

Does everyone agree with this list or are there any obvious omissions?

Harden will be one to watch to see how pissed he gets from not getting foul shots for running straight into defenders.
Especially when they play Spain!!!

Exum has been very disappointing in the friendlies... I'd replace him with Aron Baynes

I suppose Spain is glad that Juan Carlos Navarro wasn't on the list as may be underestimated by opposition teams.
If anyone has watched him play Euroleague for Barcelona, they'd know that he can score a bunch in a hurry.
If I recall correctly he played well against USA in the Olympic gold medal game.

seems they have just gone through the NBA players list.... would like to know some more unknown players to keep an eye on... maybe those who do well in Euroleague.
