If true, that only validates my point even more so.

First exhibition game starts at 2pm ET vs Croatia.
I assume no live feeds? Share if you got them.

Canada Basketball is supposedly tweeting updates.

Anyone have any idea of roster - or who even made the trip? All I have seen so far on Twitter is Kelly Olynyk joined the team as head cheerleader (wont be playing) - gotta like the dedication from KO. Shame he is hurt. And makes guys like Wiggins look even worse.

Croatia preliminary camp roster

A week or so back Croatia cut roster to 16 players with Luka Zoric, Dragan Bender, Darko Planinic, Luka Bozic, Duje Dukan, Josip Sobin, Ivica Zubac were cut.

Today supposedly Bogdanović and Hezonja will play, but Šarić is out . Simon is out.

Croatia has struggled and under preformed the last couple year s(compared to the talented names) beacise of poor point guard play - by their roster I am not sure they solved that problem.

Why is this roster a state secret?

I saw the twitter account operated by Canada Basketball is doing the typical bang up job.

Not even they seem to be able to provide a starting five let alone a team roster.

Yes, big kudos for Olynyk for supporting the team any way he can. He has always been so dedicated. Its really too bad he was unable to play in 2013 - if he was there I think they qualify for the 2014 Worlds, which could have built some momentum for the program, and given the guys some key FIBA big tournament experience.

Re the team in Europe now, from what I can piece together, of the 22 guys in camp last week, Shi-ttu, Brooks, and Boucher are out, Joseph and Anthony are still in Canada but will join team later.

Of the remaining 17, I have not read anything one way or another on Hinz, Klassen, Long, Johnson, or Calliste.

Canhoops.ca articles suggest that the other 12 are in Europe:
Ennis, Scrubb, Heslip, Alexander, Barrett, Pierre, T. Scrubb, Bennett, Birch, Kendall, Ejim, and Bhullar.

Per Twitter Croatia starting 5:
Bilan, Sakic, Babic, Bogdanovic, Ukic.
Canada still a state secret.

Canada up 27-21 after 1st Quarter

Can you give us a starting 5 and rotation? I cant get the feed working.

frumble · Post #594 » by **frumble** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 6:27 pm

Per Canada Basketball twitter, Canada up 27-21. No word on roster, starters, or scorers.

Would be greatly appreciated if anyone who was able to get feed working can provide some info.

mojo13 · Post #595 » by **mojo13** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 6:40 pm

That is consistent with canhoops.ca speculation, FWIW.

mojo13 · Post #597 » by **mojo13** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 7:06 pm

starting 2nd half:
Ennis, Ejim, Bennett, Heslip and a Scrubb (Phil I thiink)

EDIT: it is #7 T. Scrubb

Khem Birch 1st sub in for Bennett
Kendall next sub in - not sure for who. T. Scrubb I think. Quick foul by Kendal and he sits. T Scrubb back in.

Shai Alexander in the game.

Always loved Ennis' game.

mojo13 · Post #599 » by **mojo13** » Mon Jun 20, 2016 7:20 pm

Small, fast, athletic team from the looks at it. Lots of fast break opportunities. Not great defending post ups but pretty good at swarming and preventing. Heslip looks a liability defending as always.

Why they are playing 18 year olds baffles me. He looks lost out there.

Canada up 67-60 after 3.

RJ Barrett getting some time.
