Canada Basketball

[golden]

Boucher does seem like the sort of big who would kill it in international competition.

Might be the opposite actually. FIBA is kind of like Aussie rules basketball, where old, sloth-like, ultra physical, crafty AF bigs thrive.

Do you think anyone would noticed if we put Norm Powell in Dwight Powell's place?

Powell would have done well in a Nurse offense. Play the Ibaka role for team Canada but is more agile. Sucks to lose him.

Outside of Giannis we don't really need a large front court to win this tourney.

Dwight Powell with a serious-looking injury tonight against the Clippers

Got to feel for the guy … Although if he had played for Canada last summer skeptics would have said " It may have been cause he played in the summer " … Injuries happen at a blink of an eye sometimes and makes you wonder the risk players take playing in their contract year .

[007]

Damn man, that sucks. Get well soon Dwight

[bertarapsfan]

Could he be ready for the qualifier. I know nothing about torn achilles injuries.

Naah he's done. tourney 6 months from now. KD happened 6 months ago to and he's nowhere near ready to play NBA let along a non-paid tournament
