No Wiggins, but that is still a damn good roster. I think they play against France first which should be a great game.
why didn't Wiggins join up?

Ooo yeah that would be a matchup!
They seem angry
They’re auditioning for a mobile game app logo.
Lmao this graphic, for some reason, seems so tacky even though most sports graphics are like this. Idk why this one in particular just seems so ridiculous
They probably realised Dillon Brooks was Canadian
The "Stepping on loose LEGO blocks" look.
Be excited to see if Edey gets any run
🤣 The image looks like a video-game where they only coded 2 expressions so shit's just repeating all over the place
Good for Canada. Hopefully these guys can play well together.
That's a pretty nice squad. Hope they do well
Would be awesome to see them play Team USA … unfortunately they’re in complete different groups for both 1st and 2nd rounds. They potentially have the opportunity to play against both France and Spain in the group stage.
Very strong guard/wing lineup, but I'm less optimistic about their frontcourt. Olynyk/Powell isn't terrible, but I don't see much in the way of rim protection unless Edey goes ham.
Agreed. Kyle Alexander is pretty solid too, but I'm biased as a Tennessee fan.
