In short, the biggest change for Greece since WC 2023 is Janis, who relies on 8 players, some of whom come from teams like Telekom or Bwin. Without Janis, last year's team was not at a high level.
There is little versatility without Janis, as they do not have players from Peru who could take advantage of free throws.
In contrast, the Spanish team has NBA or Euroleague top players, with 2 veterans Lull and Fernandez, who still play on top teams at their age.
Overall, Greece has only one big gun, which may not offer much if it is restrained or if there is an unexpected game situation. Remember how Lithuania defeated Greece without Janis last year, which shows the value of the team without Janis.
Meanwhile, Spain may have slept through the first period against Australia, but apart from that, the game could have ended differently. They have been playing together for many years, with higher level and talented players.
In the end, it's a 50/50 situation, but I see Spain having an advantage.
