LOL. Really? That's what you got from that?
Yes, it is. Ujiri talked about young, up-and-coming players on the Canadian youth teams that he couldn't mention by name. That screams Andrew Wiggins to me, unless you know of other under-19 Canadian players that are sure shot NBA talents.
No it isn't about Wiggins, he's just using that Canadian youth team as reference, basically he heavily favors on developing the young guys, and based upon he's got scouting as his background, so probably that development of young talent within the roster is critically important on Masai's part. Tbh, like if you drafted this young kid, you better develop him. Maybe it's Masai hearing all about how Casey's not developing Jonas and Ross, so that's why he's talkin' about the importance of young talent development (Canadian kids reference) because they are a huge component of team success.
