Re: State of the Union. Team Canada Basketball. (FIBA Americas Aug.31-Sep.15)
It's gonna be interesting how Triano manages minutes throughout this tourney, especially with so many consecutive games. You want to peak in the elimination rounds, so he might pull a Coach Pop and rest key guys here and there in the first round. Our bigs will have fresh legs b/c there are so many of them and a lot of them can play either PF or C. I'm worried about our guards, though.
PG - Joseph / Scrubb / Heslip?
SG - Stauskas / Heslip / ?
SF - Wiggins / Doornekamp / Ejim
PF - Nicholson / Bennett / Olynyk / Ejim
C - Bennett / Olynyk / Powell / Sacre

Damn, nice catching Argentina sleeping.

Triano told Canada to push more I'm guessing.

Argentina doing a good job screening their bigs into picks. Forcing Canada to be late on their help.

Scrubb is getting exposed by this Argentina guard.

Hanlan and Ennis should be on the Rio 2016 team. Our guard rotation is really weak for this tournament.

Campazzo is a crafty PG. Not sure why some here are surprised he's taking Scrubb to school.
