Just finished watching the game. The best I've ever seen Bhullar. He would look so much better with 50 less lbs. The NBA players did well vs physical play from a desperate team. I don't get how Lou can get NBA contracts but Heslip can't. He demands attention 24/7 when he's on the floor. And Jamal Murray, I would like to see him drive and kick more, or penetrate off the pick and roll a bit more, but he is a vet. It's tough believing that he's so young with that game.

Bhullar's got some serious potential in there if he could just boost his fitness level. He still has lots of time before training camp, but this experience immediately following Summer League is definitely a step in the right direction.
Good for Nicholson and Bennett. They both look in pretty good shape, and ready to their games and this program to another level of respectability.

Kentucky fans must like that he is getting some coaching from a future HOF'er Steve Nash ....

LOL. What a great problem for Nash. When's the last time a Canadian basketball program had actual, legitimate tough decisions on player personnel?

I've watched both games and Andrew Nicholson has been the MVP for Canada, hands down. I don't need to look up his stats but he has been the go to guy on the floor for scoring and rebounding. As much as he bitches to FIBA refs, his whole game is best suited to FIBA basketball. It's slower and more physical and Nicholson is a high skills guy.
