That will change over the next 5-10 years somewhat but I'm not sure it will matter much given the new FIBA format....

guyroch wrote: View PostThe pool is deep of players but this was a bunch of players who had hardly no experience playing with each other and with new coach . Saying that no excuse losing to the teams they lost to this week .
At the top end, we probably have talent to compete with almost anyone outside of a few teams but other countries have far more depth in terms of second and third squads....

slaw wrote: View PostNot so sure about that. This was a couple/few years ago but I was having lunch with a guy who had recently left working with the men's national team programs and he said that (almost at every level) the drop-off from the first 15 guys or so to the next 10-15 guys was like the Grand Canyon. He was probably exaggerating a little bit but I do think the point still stands. If you were to name the top senior men's players I think you'd hit a sharp decline - and I do mean steep - somewhere around 15 if not sooner.

Give me a team of Brady Heslp's ( guys who come every time Canada calls ) and you will see success . Look at this present team it got stronger as tourney went on ...Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY

I am not sure how much the other team practiced, but we do know that Brazil played a few exhibition games before the tournament.
Canada will play the Bahamas in NOvember in Nova Scotia. I am not sure if I will go to the game or not if the team does not seem better prepped for the one game.Twitter @WJ_FINDLAY
