As hosts, China was placed in Pot 1, alongside the three best-qualified teams as per the February 2019 FIBA World Rankings. The 28 other teams were placed in Pots 2 to 8, also according to their world ranking. The draw sequence began with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 8, with Pots 1,4,5, and 8 feeding Groups A, C, E, and G, while Pots 2,3,6, and 7 filled up Groups B, D, F, and H. A competition number was drawn for each team, which determined its position in the group and the order of games in each group.

Personnel involved

The 32 participating teams were drawn into eight groups of four. As agreed by the Local Organizing Committee, hosts China was drawn in Group A while the defending champions United States was allocated to Group E. [2]

Seeding

Canada was moved from Pot 5 to Pot 6, switching places with Iran (the best-ranked team from that pot) to avoid having two teams from the Americas in the same group. [2] The highest-ranked team not to qualify for the World Cup was seventh-ranked Slovenia, [3] who participated at the last World Cup in 2014 and were the EuroBasket 2017 champions at the time of the draw. Slovenia would eventually qualify for the 2023 edition. [4]
