It's also the first time that Canada has had a point guard other than Co Jo who can play sustained minutes for this generation of the team. To think, if Murray could play he likely wouldn't have made the team.
The battle for PG on the next Canada team (assuming they qualify is going to be intense). My concern is at SF. It's pretty obvious that Doornekamp is coming to his end at this level but I can't think of a player who can fill his spot. Barrett Jr is years away. It'll be pretty interesting to see if someone emerges as the next backup SF for Canada.
Also good to see Stauskas and Heslip start to get heated up.
Now all they have to do is make sure that they don't face Argentina in the semis. If they compete against any other team they should make the finals and qualify for the Olympics.

I really like what Ejim brings, and Dyshawn Pierre will probably go the international route and be another guy similar to Ejim that they could bring in.
I like Ejim, but his ability to play some at PF is his real value to this team, I guess if he has to play more 3 I wouldn't complain. I haven't watched enough of Pierre to really say anything about him. Canada has a lot of guards and bigs in the pipeline, but not that many SFs.
