Congrats to Team Canada for Olympic Seed!
Thats an awesome feat and I think they got real medal upset potential since some staples at the top like France and Spain are looking sus. In my books, only US and Serbia look like they are miles ahead of Canada with best possible rosters. There is gonna be a huge cluster of teams in the 3-8 range that are very close to each other and can realistically fight for a medal, and even though US should win if they dont shoot themselves in the foot, the 2nd favorite Serbia is not invincible for those teams.

Cool assessment I agree. Imagine if Jamal Murray played for us and Wiggins too? We will be in the thick of things tho
I hope KO retires a Jazz man (or at least stays on the team until he's no longer good)

I do think SGA is going to be the best guard in the NBA in 2-3 years.
Honestly at this point Curry just has to fall off a bit for him to take that mantle. I think he's better than Lillard/Mitchell/Booker/Ja/Trae/Edwards who would probably be in the group of guys who would be behind Curry.

SIMMONS: The GTA is becoming the basketball capital of the world
It;s amazing what has happened in Canadian basketball, with the men's team qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games.

Im quite surprised tbh. Serbia was seriously shorthanded without Jokic, Bojan and Micic.
I do know their depth is insane and many of their players are NBA quality guys who just never made that move for one reason or another.. but I figured missing their 3 best players would end up hurting them more.
