Forget about how strong Europe is, this Canadian team ( with the young core Wiggins , Nik , Tristian Joseph ) having another year of experience under their belt should qualify .. If not then the head coach should be put under the microscope ..

The problem next summer will be the timing of the qualifying tournament. If Murray gets drafted and hasn't signed his rookie deal yet, then he obviously can't play. Even then, his drafting team might want him to go to Summer League or other team related stuff. Realistically, I think we're looking at Joseph and Tyler Ennis in the back-court next summer, which is still big-time talent for FIBA, more than most squads have. Joseph is really developing his dribble-drive game with the Raps, so he's going to be vastly improved from the last tournament, plus we'll have TT.
Just looking at the likely NBAers: Olynyk, Sacre, Thompson, Nicholson, Bennett, Wiggins, Stauskas, CoJo, Ennis. Those aren't rookies, and relative to most FIBA teams, even Euro powerhouses, that is superior basketball talent and depth. Triano is on the hot seat.
Really no excuse for not qualifying next year.

Although I won't disagree that Jay Triano should get his share of the blame for not having his superior talent ready, as well as tactical in-game adjustments.

I do think Joseph is a alpha-dog type of player ... Do you see how that guy struts on the floor .. He sure doesn't lack confidence ..Last edited by guyroch; Wed Nov 25, 2015, 12:08 PM.

I remember going to see a Ryerson Rams vs Baylor game ( in Toronto ) and that is the first time I came across the name Hesip ( he went nuts on that game ) and that is when I googled him and found out what you just found out .. I thought when I saw him play for Canada it was because of that relationship but he has won his spot by his play and not who he is related too ..

I don't think Heslip has had any favoritism his way. Just a surprising connection. Also he's very one-dimensional so if our depth improves at all, he's not likely to be a regular fixture on national teams.
