I wonder two things ... Why is Brazil participating in this tourney .. It has nothing to gain and also why aren't any of the two Raptors in this tourney ... IF they are as good as the Raptors project them to be then wouldn't this tourney be good experience for them in future FIBA America events ?

Brazil's coach Ruben Magnano on the Canadian team last night:
“We just lost to a great team, a team with a deep rotation and they play a physical game that made it very difficult for Brazilian players to make good decisions on the court,” said head coach Ruben Magnano. “They are big with large wingspans, really athletic who really do a great job of going to the boards and making misses into points, one way or the other, put-backs or fouls. Brazil’s offensive philosophy is in every possession keep them to one shot, but in this game, you saw several instances of second and even third shots. We can’t just afford to do that and hope to win the game.”

Bruno and Bebe aren't there because the Raptor's specifically asked them not to go and stay in Toronto training with the coaching staff. There was an interview with the Brazil coach where he says he asked them both to play but they had to decline.

What they can do though, is send their B to C league team, which Brazil did. Probably only a couple of the Brazil players will be on the actual Olympic squad.
