ofan 237 Posted July 16, 2019 #262 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Noticeably no Andrew Wiggins, the highest paid Canadian in the NBA. Not like we need him anyways, he's highly overrated. Nonetheless, with the preliminary roster in place, it is very clear Canada will be a heavy medal favourite in this World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada's roster is complete with him and big favorite for the final against USA Also in 2015 Wiggins didnt play in semifinal match against Venezuela in FIBA Americas Championship because of a conflict with coach i think. Canada lost even if they had done big tournament performance and they had won venezulea by 20 points difference in first round matches and they also lost the chance for direct qualification to Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's cited personal reasons and it not being "his time" to compete on the international stage. Probably for the best, as he should focus this summer on bettering himself for the next NBA season. Does that mean we won't seem in a potential Olympics appearance next year? Not sure. It will all depend on if his game improves. While it's disappointing that we won't have him, since we are kind of weak at the swing position, I'm confident RJ Barrett can fill the gap. Every other position we're as deep as any other team outside of the US. The truth is, in the grand scheme of things, I don't think his absence will mean too much.

nenad 358 Posted July 19, 2019 #270 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Harden pulls out as well. Clutch sports clients taking summer off. Without Davis and Harden, USA still favourites but not unbeatable either. George_D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
