Yeah, slim pickings. Brandon Clarke is probably the best undersized big in the pipeline, talent-wise. Otherwise, Dwight Powell is pretty much similar to Tristan Thompson. Trey Lyles is kind of big, but he's more like an Olynyk-lite. Maybe Leonard Miller can go on the Giannis/Lebron diet and fill out with bulk + muscle.
Kyle Alexander could be a guy that runs it back for the Olympic squad as well. He provides some nice length and is a lob threat as weak side shot blocker. He gives up some weight when guard big 5's but couldbe effective in the dunker spot with the guards we have.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

Clarke and Lyles are 27 and 28 respectively (same as Brooks, 28). Time line wise they fit OK with the 24/25 year old core of SGA, Dort, Barrett, Murray, and NAW. I mentioned Miller as a potential break out guy that could join the team after this year.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic lists Thunder swingman among best perimeter defenders in NBA (msn.com)
Although I love Murray .. For selfish reasons I would love him to play for Canada but for the sake of his NBA career he
should be on a minutes restriction .. The guy doesn't look he body can handle a whole NBA season and NBA playoffs ..
NICKEILALEXANDER-WALKER with Dort and Dillon Brooks and a motivated Wiggins this Canadian team will have
a great defense ..and I didn't even mention SGA .

What's the starting lineup gonna look like?
KO
Brooks
RJ
SGA
Murray

I think you got the starting lineup correct.
Also this nugget was in the article. "Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin is reportedly interested in joining the Canadian team at this summer's games."
I guess his recovery is going well.Last edited by Primer; Mon May 20, 2024, 12:25 PM.

Well for Canadian Basketball selfish reasons the NBA playoffs have gone well with all of our major guns not going to the conference Finals .. The experience playing in the playoffs for the Pacers might help if ANDREW NEMBHARD is invited to camp for PG back up role ..
