Alright that makes much more sense. Hopefully we get Murray, Lyles, Wiggins, Barrett and Olynck to play

Add in Dwight Powel and even Khem Birch to that list. Cory Jospeh will need to pick up his player option for no contract issues and I would think the Lakers will not pick up Tyler Ennis' team option.

I think the next two games we don't need all hands on deck but Olynck and some NBA PG is a must ... Although I think Barrett getting some Senior Men's actions would be good for him and us ..

What would be the point of involving NBA players in June when Canada has already qualified for second round which starts in September?

Wondering do wins carry over cause if not you do have a point ... Although " what is the point issue " you brought up may apply to anyone if not just NBA players ... So Let me get this straight ... July and August most big power house leagues are on break but next round starts up in September .. Who is the genius who came up with this ?

Winning games vs. the other teams that advance will help you carry over a winning record to the next round. This could play a role in getting out of round two.

OK, thanks for the clarification. FIBA basketball in June will be a tough sell to NBAers heading into vacation time following a long season + playoffs for some. The current team that played last weekend may be able to defeat the Domincans at home without any extra help.

My three point shot is coming along and look out for the between the legs dribble leading to the left handed hook. I got this.

But.. do you meet the criteria of being under 18?

Those kind of rules are for sticklers. The kids need a veteran presence. I can always dye my hair.

R.j. Barrett named 2018 naismith high school boys' player of the year

After leading Montverde Academy (Florida) to a historic undefeated regular season (31-0), Canadian small forward R.J. Barrett has been named the 2018 Naismith High School Boys' Player of the Year.

Barrett becomes just the second Canadian to win the prestigious award and first since Minnesota Timberwolves forward Andrew Wiggins captured the honour following his 2013 season at Huntington Prep.

Quite the honor.

Something else to look forward to.
