Victor Wembanyama headlined France’s preliminary roster for the upcoming Paris Olympics.

The 19 player roster includes Rudy Gobert and Nic Batum.

"The key to building the team will be establishing an uncompromising defense," said head coach Vincent Collet.

Bilal Coulibaly, Ousmane Dieng, and Killian Hayes are also on the initial list.

The team will trim down the roster to 12 players ahead of the Olympics.

France are in Group B with Germany, Japan, and a qualifying winner.
