I mean, Wiggins is a good player. But he's nothing special.
Milos Raonic is another one. He's an AWFUL tennis player. An awful tennis player. Never won a Grand Slam in his career and i doubt he wins one. But the Canadian media talks about him like he's Roger Federer. Just ridiculous.

Also, Federer is arguably the greatest tennis player of all time. Raonic is just top 10 in his era. What do you want?
I don't think Raonic gets undue hype. Bouchard still gets extra attention even though she completely fell off after her concussion. A tennis story often leads with a report on her losing an early round match to a low or unranked player, then throw in a couple lines at the end about Raonic advancing. If it's about the tennis, those stories should feature Raonic with a couple throw in lines about Bouchard."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I think rocwell was saying qualifying has changed so it's done in season for lower ranked teams like canada. We may never get to see what this team can do9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

I'm hoping we can at least manage that second-tier talent level with guys like Ejim, the other Josephs, Bachynskis, Scrubbs etc. Will they drop in college and NBA players for the June and July games? Dominican Republic is solid (ranked ahead of us in FIBA ranking) and less reliant on NBA talent, but hopefully we can knock them off for the best possible seeding going into the second round.
Qualifiers should be easy imo. Dominican Republic is solid but three teams(out of 4) will go to second round. Surely we can beat Bahamas and Virgin Islands.
Honestly, 2nd round shouldn't be a problem for us with or w/o NBA talent. Top 3 teams from the group will qualify for WC. Best fourth placed team will get a ticket, too. I'm not really worried about seeding tbh.Last edited by rocwell; Sat Jul 15, 2017, 03:23 PM.
