5 years(or whatever it is) of working/living in a country to be valid for citizenship...Scotties almost there. If he doesn't get selected to the US team Canada better come knocking...altho I'm sure the US would be aware of this lol

It wasn't up to him. Memphis made the call to have Edey with their coaches asap. Usually all rookies get that treatment sadly. Wiggins on the other hand being held out by the Warriors is a joke.
Teams can’t keep players from playing unless it’s a valid medical reason.
They can strong arm them into it but it’s up to the player.
And edey the player made the correct decision here. He hasnt earned 1 nba dollar yet and you want him to go against the wishes of the team that drafted him? Would be stupid

That's what Canada needs, a naturalized citizen or two, like Embiid playing for USA.

What's frustrating about that is the wishes of the team is wrong. He'd develop far more playing in the Olympics than SL, and still have training camp to learn the Grizzlies system. Teams should realize that playing in a competitive FIBA/Olympic tournament is an experience that makes players better.

I sincerely hope we show both the equal amount of exposure & get behind them/rooting for them to win!

Do you have access to internet? Google? My four year old was asking...

The biggest concern with him was his defense/ mobility. He has played 4 years of college where the defensive rules are similar to FIBA (no 3 in the key rule).
He has to break old defensive habits & get ready for the NBA game. (Personally I wish 3 in the key didn't exist & the transition to FIBA was seamless)
Hopefully Edey plays in 2028.
I know the issues for them. I think they did a great job," the coach said about Dort and Brooks. "In my opinion, Dillon's last two fouls were very questionable. I don't think they treated some of their players and our players the same way, but that's not my job to say. I'm happy with my players' performance. The same with Lu Dort - he did an unbelievable job. If we would've kept those two guys on the court, I was very comfortable with how the game was going.

My main concern is how we handle the Giddey / Landale combination, but we handled Greece with Giannis (albeit he got his points) so I'm sure Fernandez will have a plan to deal with them.
