Canada Basketball

[WJF]

anyone know if NCAA students can play on the national team or do they have to be done first? Xavier Rathan-Mayers for eg?

College guys are able to be on the roster.

nice, hope Rathan-Mayes gets some consideration for the qualifiers...he's been overshadowed by Murray but he's someone on the NBA radar that we seem to have forgotten about

Im sure he's already picked out a PF from the Basketball without Borders program lol

Yes, it's Dragan Bender, this year's BwoB global camp MVP, and we're drafting him with New York's pick next year.

MU seems like a Cheick Diallo type of guy.

There are only two Canadians in the WNBA at present, Natalie Achonwa is at the Pan Am games and has taken a leave from the Fever and Kayla Alexander is a bench player with the Stars and hasn't played for Canada recently.

Many of the players on the women's national team play pro ball in Europe where it's the off season.

The US women's Pan Am team is made up of NCAA players only, no pros.

Canadian coach turning heads in NBA circles

Scott Morrison is not supposed to be here, in a room filled with Hall of Famers and millionaire athletes. Morrison is supposed to be watching them from home, not making Las Vegas his residence for the next two weeks while they watch him. Yet, somehow, Morrison beat the odds. That’s because he didn’t believe that a kid from Morel, PEI isn’t supposed to amount to much in the game of basketball.

Morrison is currently coaching the NBA Developmental League select team at the NBA’s Summer League. It’s an honour that was bestowed on him as a reward for being named the NBADL’s Coach of the Year. For Morrison it’s been a long road but quick ascension. And it’s no coincidence he’s showcasing his talents in Vegas, because Morrison has been betting on himself for years
