As Canadian National Team head coach Jay Triano has been saying for the last 18 months, Canada’s quest to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics will feature the country’s growing stable of NBA talent.
Canada released it’s 16-player training camp roster for the FIBA Americas Championship late Monday afternoon. On it are 10 current NBA players, led by reigning Rookie of the Year and Minnesota Timberwolves wing Andrew Wiggins. Anthony Bennett, Nik Stauskas, Cory Joseph and Kelly Olynyk are among those expected to make the final 12-man roster heading to FIBA Americas from Aug. 31-Sept. 12.
The top two finishers there will qualify for the Rio Olympics. Canada has not been to the Olympics since the 2000 Sydney Games.
Most notably beyond the NBA players is the inclusion of 18-year-old University of Kentucky freshman point guard Jamal Murray, who was brilliant in helping lead Canada to silver at the Pan American Games last month in Toronto.
