- Canada Men’s Basketball Team Overview
A total of eight current NBA players have committed to the Canadian men’s basketball team. Most notably from the list are Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins and young New York Knicks small forward/shooting guard RJ Barrett. Canada’s strong suit is their backcourt, which included Luguentz Dort, Cory Joseph and Nickeil Alexander-Walke...
The frontcourt of the Canadian men’s basketball team is lethal and will be a problem for any team playing them.
RJ Barrett – Shooting Guard
The biggest strength for the Canadian men’s basketball team might be their backcourt. Barrett is the most notable name on the list. Barrett averaged 17.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game in the 2020-21 NBA season. He played a big role in Canada winning gold in the 2017 FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup. This is what Barrett said about the victory at the time according to Bryan Meler of Sportsnet: “We knew everyone was behind us,” Barrett said on Wednesday. “But it wasn’t until...
Cory Joseph – Point Guard
For a point guard, Joseph should be the starter. Yes, his stats are not that impressive compared to the other starters on this list. Joseph averaged 8.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.0 steal per game. This does not take into account though, what Joseph means to Team Canada. He has played for Team Canada in almost every opportunity he could get. This included playing in Canada’s previous Olympic qualifiers in 2015. In the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, they were elim...
Luguentz Dort – Small Forward/Shooting Guard
The depth in the small forward position is also quite impressive. Dort averaged 14 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists with the Oklahoma City Thunder this previous season. He is a player who can play both offensively and defensively and can play in both the small forward/shooting guard positions. Canadian men’s head coach Nick Nurseis obviously happy to have him on the team. Dort is very good defensively and is now starting to show his offensive prowess at only 22 years old.
Other Bench Players
To back up Joseph, Mychal Mulder(who made the Rising Stars team this year) is available. Mulder averaged 5.6 points and 1.0 assists per game. Mulder, like Wiggins, plays for the Warriors, so those two players should have good chemistry with each other on the court. Alexander-Walker is another great player to back up Joseph. He averaged 11 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.0 steal per game for the New Orleans Pelicans this previous NBA season. He is a terrific player. The only reason he...
Things can obviously change, maybe some other notable players will drop out on Monday. It is unlikely though, as the Olympic qualifiers will start next Tuesday. It is also important to note that Nick Nurse is probably the best coach for the job. He made the 2020 NBA All-Star Game as a head coach and won the 2019 NBA championship. Nurse played a cri...
