Hey buddy, just a heads up, Cojo played for the Spurs tonight had 7 points. Here's all of the Canadians in the NBA: TT (Cavs), Nash (Suns), Rautins (MAvs), Magloire (Raps), Dalembert (Rockets), Cojo (Spurs), Joel Anthony (Heat). Also, Oregon State has a pretty good Canadian on their team, Angus Brandt. He's from Cape Breton of all places. Great job as always though. Thanks

On another note:

Who thought going into this season that Kevin Pangos would be having a MUCH better season than Myck Kabongo. I think Myck Kabongo has been one of the biggest disappointments in the entire NCAA, including everyone, not just Canadians. I really expected him to have a big first year at Texas.

As well, where's the guy from last season who said that Sacre was a 1st rounder? He's not even the best big on his team. You've got to wonder how much longer he continues to start over Sam Dower.

I'm right here, and with all due respect, you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a diehard Zags fan, go to several games a year. Rob injured his hand against Butler and re-injured it yesterday in practice. After the game Coach Few said that he made a mistake by playing him and he may have torn ligaments in his thumb; could be out several games. Back to Pangos, I saw 75% of his international games with the junior teams and he was always either mvp or all first team for every tournament, and he's even better now. He's already the team leader as a true freshman. He very well might be Steve Nash 2.0. Funny thing is, both Steve and Kevin chose to stay in Canada for high school, unlike all of the other lemmings that keep going to the states.

Ah, okay thanks for the heads up. Actually surprised that we didn't pick him up; he's a decent combo guard.

Rautins unfortunately has very little talent better suited to European ball.
Kabongo is making steady progress on a Texas team without alot of talent.
Right now he is the number 1 pick in the draft as a point guard.
Pagnos has huge potential talent he will be a much better scorer than Kabongo but not as good a floor general. Both will be in the NBA.

And we should all be proud of both of them.

Moreso then any other position, alot of NBA point guards struggled as freshman. I would not read too much into somebody struggling at first.

kabongo has been inconsistent but hes far from a disapointment. hes had some huge games.

Angus Brandt is from Sydney, Australia not Cape Breton. They have it wrong on Yahoo; or at least that's what a little internet digging leads me to believe.

not sure he's going to be a first round pick, but sacre was having a fantastic season until very recently. i do admit that i didn't know he's been injured.....sacre's funny. mom a head basketball coach at a hs powerhouse (or extremely good), dad a former nfl tight end and an AD at a black college and he doesn't do the little things well. kinda strange

I just did some digging around on Kabongo and came across an ESPN article about him:

http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketba ... 2595/42595

The Toronto native is averaging 12.8 points and 6.7 assists in his last six contests, which includes a season-high 18-point effort in Saturday's win over Temple.

He's doing pretty good for a freshman and so is Pangos. Either way, the point is safe for Team Canada the next little while.

Just watched the Gonzaga game and Pangos keeps getting better and better 19 points in 21 minute. He has already twice won WCC player of the week.
