Thanks DG. Im going to try to pay more attention to Team Canadas basketball program.

Justin Jackson on both the JMNT and CMNT

I think they're doomed without Leo Rautins involved in the program.

Also, nice to see some Serbian blood on the squad - it should help them be competitive at least and help carry this Wiggins kid.... ......

Press release

Toronto, Ont. – The Junior Men’s National Team (JMNT) training camp will begin on June 9 with 22 talented athletes. The 10-day camp will be held at Ryerson University’s Kerr Hall Gymnasium following the junior age-group open tryout on June 8. On June 11, JMNT hopefuls will be split into two groups to compete against one another in the 2013 edition of the Red and White intrasquad game.
Head coach Roy Rana will once again take the helm of the JMNT as it prepares for the competitive season ahead. The native of Toronto, Ont. will serve as the team’s bench boss for the second consecutive season. He will be joined by assistants Jamie McNeilly and Scott Morrison.
Coach Rana will look to improve upon last summer’s impressive third-place finish at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Men. “We have a tough task ahead of us, but I believe in the strength, ability and athleticism of the group that we have assembled. Last summer was an excellent learning experience for these young men. Now it’s time to focus that growth with hard work and prepare for this summer.”
Canada Basketball’s assistant general manager and executive vice-president of the Senior Men’s Program, Rowan Barrett, echoed the coach’s sentiments. “These athletes have shown tremendous skill for their respective teams and in the past with the National Team program. We’re very excited that they are taking the next step in their development with this team.”
Following training camp, the JMNT’s first test will come in the form of a pair of exhibition games against two solid opponents: Brazil and the United States. The two tune-up contests will lead directly into this summer’s FIBA U19 World Championship in the Czech Republic. The premiere competition for the U19 age-group will begin on June 27 and finish on July 7 where one team will be crowned world champions.
For additional information regarding the FIBA U19 World Championship, please visit the tournament’s official site.

I don't even care. He took the best of Mangisto Arop and turned it into a first name! New favourite player.

I was born and raised in Toronto, never been to India even though i am 30 years old now, but both of my parents come from the State of Punjab before they arrived in Canada in 1979. I always wish the best for South Asian players as well, but regardless of background, i wish every Canadian Ball Player much love and success.

Emmanuel Owootoah Guard 5-10 Toronto, Ont.

Hope he makes the team. This kid can play. Will definitely watch him play @ Fresno State this season.

Whoosh


Awesome to see some ethnic flavour on the team. Steve Nash was probably the single biggest driver behind our sudden influx of young talent.
