That's a little off base... If relevance means being drafted 4th overall? Ok... then I concede. Keep in mind though, Canada's population is a tenth of yours.
To me "baller of relevance" extends to the huge number of players coming out of the Greater Toronto Area to play D1 NCAA ball and start at big schools. And not just bigs either... skill players and guards. Hell, one of em was drafted this year - TT's team mate and AAU pal, Cory Joseph.
Cory has been sent down to NBDL, but if he was on a developing team like Cavs or Raps he'd be getting burn. And Cory's not even the best player in his family! Big brother Devoe is a better scorer, currently playing at Oregon.
Hell, I can make an ALL Canadian NBA team ...
