I feel like I read or inferred from one of guyroch's links that we won't be playing exclusively the Americas, but that any teams from around the world not already qualified will be divided into 4 groups and play each other. So we could be up against European, Asian and African teams as well. If that's the case... we have to hope we avoid who? ... Greece, Lithuania, Serbia maybe...
I could be wrong though.Last edited by guyroch; Fri Sep 20, 2019, 08:06 AM.

One guy on twitter who follows this type of stuff and always seem to have Canada news fast . Has Canada in a Pot with Germany ,Dominican Repulblic , Venezuela … Hey with Murray plays and we can get some better big men then I can see Canada winning this group . I am sure RJ will be playing .. Kelly Olynyk is a free Agent and so he might not play in qualifier but he might play if they qualify .

I think the idea of "pots" is that one team from each pot comprises a tournament group of 6. That means we probably won't be playing those teams you mentioned.

But yeah, the closer to home the better our chances of guys showing up.

But I agree would be awesome if they could work to get a tourney in Toronto it may help get local talent to play.

Shane Larkin, American point guard of Turkish basketball club Anadolu Efes, is eager to play for Turkey's national team. Hey Vanvleetwhat are you doing this summer ? lol … This guy may get his wish but Matt Bonner tried for years ( heck he even married a Toronto woman ) and Canada kept on saying no .

NBA guardGoran Dragichas confirmed he is retiring from the Slovenia team that won the European basketball championship.
Dragic says on Tuesday, "I achieved what I wanted, the gold medal, and this is the right time to bid farewell."
The 31-year-old Dragic led Slovenia with 35 points to beat Serbia 93-85 in the final on Sunday in Istanbul, earning the MVP award.
He says Slovenia's qualifying campaign for the 2019 world championship will start in November, and it would be impossible for him to play due to his professional duties with the Miami Heat in the NBA.
Tens of thousands of jubilant Slovenes greeted the new European champions on Monday in the capital of Ljubljana.
