all these "Canadian" players develop in the USA

ex RJ Barrett moved to Montverde Academy in Florida
They play usually their senior plus maybe junior high school seasons in the states.


They also all play for Canada at the junior level and dominate for Canada in every junior tourneys

Canada is the #2 ranked team in the world at the junior level .

Trey Lyles was his McCaw today. Man I hope he doesn't convince Bobby to sign that guy...can't believe Trey Lyles had some hype back in the day. I don't wanna hear anything about Calipari developing anyone. He's had so many guys turn out to be absolutely nothing: Lyles, Marquis Teague, the Harrison twins, Terrance Jones, Tyler Ulis, Daniel Orton, Josh Harrelson, etc.


Kevin Knox, Skal Labissiere

Trey lyles literally does nothing well crazy to think he was drafted before devin booker
undersized, horrible rebounder, horrible shooter, no rim protection. He wasn't even that good in college as well

his career is going the way of andrew nicholson should be overseas next year

Yep Kevin Knox might get a chance elsewhere, but the other two are done in the NBA. Skal couldn't even get off the bench on the Knicks G-League team

Canada basketball is a joke and no one has the balls to call it out.

Rowan should be fired but because rj will prob not suit up again he will have that cushy job forever.

Need to get really serious and say you need like a two year commitment if you say no then adios

Every other nation in the world gets commitments and players get called out if they don't play

Hell like 4 guys who will be playing in the NBA finals will also go to Tokyo. Won't even have a summer . Literally as soon as the NBA season ends boarding a plane to Japan

They let guys bullshyt and say they want in but when it’s time to commit it’s an excuse. Either you’re committed for 2-4 years or you’re not playing. They’re glad to soak in the love from Canada fans but when it’s time to hoop they wanna spend their summer in Calabasas.

greece killed turkey today

canada misses the boat AGAIN because they can't do what they're supposed to

exactly the same as beating Venezuela in round robin and then losing to them in the final to miss out on the Americas berth last time :shaq2:

Until your basketball athletes get some national pride y’all will never be shyt :yeshrug: . Y’all new to this international basketball thing and y’all
Kids don’t grow up having Olympic gold medal basketball dreams like the majority of other international basketball teams . It’ll change when y’all current youth team prospects start going pro because they’ve found success at junior levels and know it’s possible for Canadian basketball to be legit medal contenders. Oh well it was a good run ,I’ll see y’all rooting for Jamaica during T & F in a few weeks .

:mjlol:

American GMs and players have always said that Canadian teams aren't driven to success and will settle for their position. This place definitely has a let the cards fall where they may attitude.

Just be like me and never place hopes in Canadian teams.

:hhh:

Jamaica

:blessed:
