Future of Canadian Basketball?

With guys like Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett, Tyler Ennis, Andrew Nicholson, Jamal Murray etc, where do you guys think we can make it to in the 2016 Olympics.
I'm thinking maybe a challenger for Bronze/Silver

Maybe not quite 2014, but 2018 you should be competing for a medal. I'm not sure how some of those guys will be able to play in international ball, which is completely different from College/NBA.

Much much better than they've ever been. I definitely think they can become a top 10 team and quite likely top 5 team, challenging the prominent nations in the game.

It's not just individual names, but the growth of the sport and the fact Canada starting to produce NBA talent regularly. Doesn't seem like a fluke, Canada should be on basketball map quite soon.
