Kyle Alexander is the best Canadian big Outside of the NBA. Should be an important pillar for future Canadian teams even if our NBA bigs are available.

One of the most impressive shooting nights in memory yesterday for Canadians in the NBA:
RJ: 44p, 7r, 4a, 86% TS
SGA: 44p, 10r, 6a, 67% TS
Jamal: 25p, 12a, 8r, 64% TS
Clarke: 24p, 10r, 83% TS
Brooks: 16p, 2a, 2s, 85% TS
Lyles: 14p, 4r, 100% TS

Nembhard has always been a coaches' favorite. In Gonzaga he'd often play all 40 minutes. Now in the NBA playoffs, he didn't sit the entire second half till the game was decided. Efficient, defends, makes the right calls. A winner.
15ppg and 5apg, on 72% TS in 4 playoff games.

Nate Darling helped the Ontario Clippers win the G-League Showcase Cup. Coming off the bench, in 3 tournament games, he scored 22ppg (4 rebounds, 3 assists), shooting 16 of 26 from 3 and 86% TS (!).
He's been lights out this season and should get another shot at the NBA.

As awsome as Brooks has been on D (and he has been), his offensive discipline and execution have been the story for me. A mind boggling 75% true shooting from a player who's never had an NBA season better than 53% TS! Small sample size and all, but he just plays within himself.

Maybe not a bad idea to play for 🇨🇦 in the summer?
Brooks and Dort are great defenders but were two of the least efficient players in the leage over the last few years, with a TS of around 50%.
This year? Both are shooting better than 70% TS so far (top-20 in the league).

The game against France tomorrow can set up the tone for the entire tournament. Canada hasn’t finished in the top 20 in a big tournament in 20 years. Changing that starts tomorrow and Canada should treat this like an elimination game. 1/10

Through 12 games against D1 rivals this year, Xaivian Lee is scoring an efficient 20.5ppg (61% TS).
There are currently 14 D1 players who score 20.5 points or more per game. None of them is an underclassman. Only 2 are juniors. Lee is a true sophomore (hasn't turned 20 yet).

🇨🇦 rookies last night:

After the stink against Miami, Banton with another big game in a tight loss to Orlando. 26 points (4 of 8 from 3), 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 big blocks in the final minutes of the 4th to keep the Blazers in the game. Nice multidimensional game.

Well, actually 4 All-Stars (Edwards, JJJ, Ingram and Haliburton) and 2 that deserved a spot based on how well they played last season (Brunson and Bridges).
Also, this "glorified college team" with 7 players 25yo+, at the height of their career.

A few random thoughts after the first 3 Canada scrimmages:

Dillon Brooks in Canada's 4 elimination games (vs. Spain, Slovenia, Serbia, and the US):
* 23ppg, 4rpg, 3apg, 1spg, 1bpg
* 80% true shooting and 67% from 3
* Tremendous defense when the refs let him play
Anyone still wanna send him to China?

Dillon Brooks' stats over the last 10 games:

The Grizzlies, despite missing Desmond Bane, won 9 of these 10, largely thanks to Dillon's uncompromising defense against SGA, Ant, Hero, Ingram, Middleton, and others.

Banton with career highs in points (31) and assists (9). Had a couple of impressive dunks and reads in the half court offense. Definitely the best game of his career, but he's been balling for some time now (28 in the previous game). Is he for real?

Miles Sadler (30 points and 7 assists) saved the day for Team Canada today, leading them back from down 15 to a tight win over Egypt.

Today was the best I've seen Shaedon Sharpe play. After 29 points in the early game, he had 34 in the afternoon (box score says 30 but they robbed him of 4). Had 8 3-pointers between the two games, on 50% shooting. Two tough losses for Uplay but Sharpe is really on another level.

Great win! A confidence builder for our boys.
My main takeaway from this game is the huge difference between the quality of the starting 5 (+16 on average) and the bench (-11). One of Shai or Olynyk has to be on the court at all times against top rivals. Ideally also with RJ.

Banton has looked like a reborn player since moving to Portland. 19 points (30 and 25 in the last 2), 6 rebounds, and 4 assists in his last 6 games. Shooting efficiency still needs to improve, but the 3-ball has certainly looked smoother lately. A Team Canada late addition?

7. Since we're reminiscent of a mediocre US team (talented but not very coordinated), we should try the playing style that works well for them - full court press and creating havoc. Lineups including 4 of SGA, NAW, Dort, Barrett, and Brooks can make things unpleasant for teams.

Best comp right now for 🇨🇦 SG
@WillRiley_7

Gotta love how NAW has reinvented his game. Was an inefficient high-volume bench scorer with inconsistent defense on a weak Pelicans team. But over the last two years he's become a defensive specialist and lately also a true low-usage 3-and-D, in the mold of Danny Green and KCP.

Great win facing adversity. SGA is him.
Gotta say though, Canada lacks a loyal basketball NT fanbase (appologies Witt). Latvia with its 1.8mil population and GDP PC less than half of Canada brought a small army of avid fans and so did Lebanon. Our games all feel like away ones.

Another great piece from Jonathan. Latvia is similar (though probably a bit less talented) to Germany and Spain who gave us a hard time in preparation. No real big man, a quick PG who can pass and play the P&R, and forwards who can really shoot the lights out. Dangerous team.

Also wrote a bit about Leonard Miller, younger brother of Emanuel, who's exploded this summer and to start the school season (52ppg so far in two OSBA games). 6'9 guard with length, speed, shotmaking, and vision. Special talent.

Canada somehow pulls up a comeback from -15 to win it vs. Colombia and secure their spot in the AmeriCup QF.
But this team really lacks depth:
Banton and TBH: 39 points, 7 from 13 from 3.
Rest of the team: 23 points, 1 of 20 from 3, and 0 of 6 from the line.
