Ep 81 : SMNT Canada Basketball FIBA AmeriCup Qualifiers and Canadian NBA storylines.

Our friend Jonathan Chen, the Canada Basketball specialist, pulls up to discuss the upcoming FIBA AmeriCup Qualifiers for the SMNT for Canada Basketball in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We break down the roster, who we think is important for these games and the SMNT moving forward. Jonathan discusses the coaching approach for Head Coach Nathaniel Mitchell and we talk about why this window and the FIBA AmeriCup are important as Canada Basketball looks ahead to the next FIBA World Cup and ultimately the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. We also talk about the Canadian NBA story lines thus far in the first month of the 2024-2025 NBA Season. Zach Edey has been impressive to start his NBA career. The Canadians have been putting in the work in the NBA to start the season and we touch on the play of Shadeon Sharpe, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and more.
