Good to see Murray there. Wonder why Wiggins, Stauskas and Lyles aren't participating. Hopefully Barrett will in the future

After another no-show, it's almost time for Canada Basketball and Andrew Wiggins to bid each other adieu, writes @ekoreen: https://t.co/O9OJJeWLm4

If we don't qualify for 2020 Olympics we will have squandered such a great opportunity. With proper program, coaching and PLAYER PARTICIPATION there should be no reason we can't be a medal winner in the Olympics, with an outside shot at the 1 game upset for gold. That should be our ceiling, not "did not qualify"9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

No desire to win.
Anywhere.
Seriously, if a guy has no heart to play when it comes to his home and his country, no wonder he can't bring it on an NBA floor.

Why are people so harsh towards Wiggins? He is only 23, was relegated as 3rd option to make Butler happy and keep Towns involved. His future in Minnesota is in question and the Wolves and Wiggins need to do what's best for their future.
He may not be projecting as a top 10 NBA player, but let's not write him off just yet. He should be a big part of Team Canada for the next dozen years. I will reserve judgement when the games ramp up in competition level and importance. Remember we have already punched our ticket to the next round.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

I was just salty and fed up with waiting for him to show up on the international stage. But if you say now is not the imperative time, I rescind my saltiness for the time being. Hopefully he turns up when the appropriate moment comes.

He's secured a long-term contract now.
