To be clear, benedict mathurin and shaedon sharpe will be at camp, but will not play as they rehab injuries. Ive been watching canada basketball since 2010, ive seen so many iterations of this roster. That being said my 12 man roster would be- Shai gilgeous alexander, jamal murray, rj barrett, dillon brooks, kelly olynyk, dwight powell, andrew wiggins, lugentz dort, nickeil alexander walker, andrew nembhard, melvin ejim and zach edey,. Its important to note that andrew wiggins has had a contentious relationship with rowan barrett and canada basketball for some time now. The reserve big position is up for grabs, however priority will be given to zach edey or kyle alexander. Due to the plethora of wings, oshae brissett and melvin ejim and thomas scrubb become redundant, especially if wiggins plays. Its important to have european pros on the team as well, though Trae bell haynes and phil scrubb may not be up to par with all the guard options i noted. I do belive melvin ejim makes the final cut though over a trey lyles, hes shot over 40 percent from three in europe, and hes the longest tenured player in this training camp, a true staple of the program, who may only have one more go around to get a medal. Either way all 12 gentlemen will be deserving, and i do believe we will go for gold, id say anything short of playing for a medal should be considered a failure. We will make that podium though
@@justbryannow4535 Trey Lyles coach in Sacramento is the National team's head coach. Lyles will make the team due to his size and shooting ability. The roster will be an all NBA roster. The 12 man roster will be: Edey Olynyk Powell Lyles Wiggins Brooks Barrett Dort NAW Nembhard Murray SGA
@@IceManLikeGervin jordi fernandez was an assistant coach in sacramento but has moved on and is now the head coach of the brooklyn nets to be clear. as i articulated in my original comment i believe melvin ejim makes the cut over lyles due to his tenure and shooting ability, as well as his defensive versaitility. Lyles only suited up once for team canada over the years, fairly recently albeit, however i dont see him making the final cut due to lack of experience. If he does i wont be mad, as i said in my first comment i believe the 12 gentlemen on the final roster will be deserving, and anything short of the podium should and will be viewed as a failure.
@@justbryannow4535 I know that Jordi Fernandez has moved on to coach Brooklyn but he was Trey Lyles coach in Sacramento under Mike Brown the past couple of seasons just to be clear. Ejim couldn't guard anyone on Team USA. He is not up to par talent wise. Lyles is the better overall shooter, better all around player and the bigger player for a team lacking in frontcourt size. Jordi wouldn't have brought Lyles to camp if he wasn't making the team. Ejim most likely will be one of the three non main roster reserves taken out of empathy for his commitment but talent wise he's behind even Brissett, as well as Banton who wasn't invited to camp. Not to mention even Sharpe and Mathurin who are both rehabbing injuries.
@@IceManLikeGervin you seem rather misinformed about this team and maybe even fiba basketball in general. Theres no merit to saying "he wouldnt have been invited to camp if he wasnt making the team" nobody in our frontcourt can guard anybody on usa anyway, especially a sub par defender like trey lyles. To say oshae brissett is better than ejim is just ignorant, not everyone playing in the nba today is better than rotation players overseas who actually see the court and get playing time. Lyles is a score only power forward, not a very diverse skillset, not a strong post defender and not switchable. Ejim can guard 1-4 even at 6'6, brings way more experience to the table and is a better three point shooter overall. You also fail to realize that this will be a very tight rotation, with tons of small ball lineups that switch everything on defense. Lyles doesnt fit that at all. If he makes the roster thats fine, but understand youve presented no real case other than you thought fernandez was pulling strings to get lyles on the team.
Ps: i thought shaedon sharpe was gonna make the roster ( i was wrong ;/) i shouldve talked about ANDREW NEMBHARD the dude went crazy this playoffs and can really help this team offensively!!! mb guys
This can be 2028 Team Canada Roster in the Olympics; -SGA, Wiggins, Murray, Brooks, Barrett, Miller, Mathurin, Dort, Sharpe, Nembhard, Lyles and Edey. Extras: Brissett, NAW, Alexander
@@greggpon7466 Olynyk and Powell will be 36-37 yrs old in 2028 I think it might be the last Olympics this yr for these 2 guys? 👨🦳👨🦳👨🦳 they have to pass the torch to the younger and the new generation.
SGA and Murray are a scary backcourt. Individual defense is not needed that much since the Olympics are played by FIBA rules and the court is smaller plus you don´t have the def. 3 second rule. But I guess you will need those dawgs against some guys
SGA and Murray along with Wiggins. If Zach Edey can be used right he can perform like his NCAA MVP mode. I wanna see Canada vs USA in the finals🔥 but France Germany Australia and Serbia say “hello”
Pretty well can guarantee final roster if everyone stays healthy will be SGA,Murray,Olynyk,Wiggins,Brooks,Nembhard,Nickeil Alexander Walker,Lyles,Barrett,Dort,Edey and Dwight Powell who is actually really good when he plays for Canada, better than in NBA.
on paper,silver medal for sure and will give USA everything they can handle. Hopefully USA players won`t be too cocky. Cannot see them blowing out Canada with all the great defensive players of Canada and most importantly won`t be intimidated by USA with all their solid NBAers.
@whiteyjr1466 any medal for canada is A+ crazy how quick candada producing hoopers the carter effect is real hopefully he gets his jersey retired this season
team canada won't beat team usa but they will put a little fear into team usa and force them to take it serious. team canada just needs to have fun, play their best, try to learn something for the experience and see what happens because they're aren't expected to beat team usa and they won't in my opinion but anything can happen in one game
Every medal contending team has a naturalized citizen on their roster even Team USA (Embiid). Team Canada powers that be are operating in an analog manner while everyone else is working in a high speed digital world. Naturalizing someone like Jacob Poeltl would help Canada with their center issues. Olynyk and Powell try hard but those big European brutes just beat them up in the paint. Also, Edey may not be up to par. He couldn't do much of anything during FIBA World Cup. Team USA played him off of the floor, as well as the other non-NBA players on Team Canada. It better be an all NBA 12 man main roster going to Paris. If they want to take Ejim as one of the three alternate reserves so be it but Brissett better be one of those 3 reserves. My Paris Roster: Edey Olynyk Powell Lyles Wiggins Brooks Barrett Dort NAW Nembhard Murray SGA
@@gabepizza Nick Weiler-Babb - Germany (from USA), Matisse Thybulle - Australia (from USA) Dejan Vasiljevic - Australia (from Canada), Killian Hayes - France (from USA), Frank Ntilikina - France (from Belgium). Serbia has none but the other do. All the best.
@@IceManLikeGervin I mean Ntikikina moved to France at age 3. Vasilijevic to Australia at age 6 but where do you draw the line. Embiid moved to the US at 16
So Dillon Brooke’s is an elite offensive player …… And Haliburton is the worst defensive point guard on Team USA This Canada team loses by 25 to Team USA
