    A Fallen Maple Leaf
    Andrew Wiggins, the pride of Ontario, once seemed like the next big thing. But even in the wake of Jimmy Butler’s exit, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ max player has done more harm than good.

    When your making 30 million a year for 5 years .. The only motivation for self improvement has to come within ... Your coach has no power or your team ...

    He could have either tried to put Canada on his back and get them to the Olympics or quit which is what he did ...

    • Andrew Wiggins becomes Minnesota Timberwolves' fourth all-time leading scorer .. Does that say more about the Wolves then Wiggins .

      • Canadian Chris Boucher continued his dominant G League season Wednesday and set a Raptors 905 record in the process.

        Boucher scored 47 points in a 133-126 loss to Oklahoma City Blue, setting a franchise record for points in a game. The 47 points smashes the previous record of 37, also set by Boucher on Nov. 24.

          • Getting a chance with the big club now that JV is in a cast for a month. He'll be getting a ton of garbage minutes at least I would think.

                      It might, but probably not. I can't find anything about how the draw is going to be done, but if they use the FIFA format, they'll use the FIBA world rankings, which kinda screws us because our world ranking is pretty low, regardless of how well we do this tournament, and another win over Venezuela won't move us up much.

                      It's actually possible that we do the best in the qualifiers out of any Americas team, but all six other qualifying Americas teams get ranked ahead of us for seeding purposes.

                        • Canada got a pretty good lineup for the two games here on the rock. Slow start to the chile game, but it seems chile isnt very good at basketball and we creamed them. Venezuela is much better so looking forward to that tomorrow. Damn, Heslip can shoot!

                              • Canada has a team that could actually win gold in Fiba or Olympics if the full roster showed up and if we have good coaching. Latter is the bigger concern.
