Who doesn't make the final cut? My prediction: Bhullar, Scrubb, English, and Stauskas, the first NBA player to be cut from the national team.

jerome thinks it'll be pick 2 to cut from English, Heslip, and Stauskas, assuming Murray can play the entire tournament

Cuts
Doornekamp, Aaron ,
English, Carl ( keeping Stauskas cause he is the future and needs to get his feet wet )
Hanlan Olivier G
The fourth is tough for me ... Bhullar, Sim maybe but at times during the tournament he gave other teams trouble 7.5 is a something you can't teachLast edited by guyroch; Tue Aug 11, 2015, 08:03 AM.

Could easily see Doornekamp make the team and Hanlan be one of the cuts too. Hanlan was my last one in. I'd be shocked if either Stauskas or Heslip were cut. We're low on guards and shooting.

Instead, he faces the possibility of injuring himself so severely that he never signs another contract again (obviously absolute worst case scenario, but to illustrate my point).
Someone playing on the final year of their contract didn't have the same opportunity (presumably) to take a new 4-5 year, fully guaranteed deal, before ultimately deciding to play-out said "final year". If they did have the opportunity in the offseason to extend, but chose to forego that option for Free Agency a year later, then I would agree with you that they are taking a risk. But generally, they don't.

Canada's women's basketball team has picked up right where they left off from the Pan American Games.
Captain Kim Gaucher tied for the team lead with 11 points as the Canadians beat Puerto Rico 94-57 in their opening game of the FIBA Americas women's basketball championship on Sunday.[/B
Canada follows up with a 93 - 36 victory over Chilie 2-0 so far in the FIBA AmericasLast edited by guyroch; Tue Aug 11, 2015, 09:15 AM.

Hanlan has a good chance to make the Utah opening day roster. Bhullar is not on any NBA roster.
