Canada is in a group with Senegal, Australia (no Ben) and Lithuania. No reason we can’t finish second and advance. 

Tristan Thompson is also out so it may be up to Birch now.

Also if Canada gets blown out by Lithuania and Australia without Ben and beats Senegal 84-81 in OT or even loses that also wouldn’t surprise me.

USA is my fourth team...Spain and Juancho number 3. Canada's squad gonna be pretty solid

4th? Wow. I gotta root for Canada even if they have no shot but I usually root for Spain in most cases because Canada isn’t participating in most cases..

Canada just need Brooks, Boucher, and Ennis and they’ll be fine.

Brooks is a lock I think. Without Tristan Thompson I feel Boucher may be close to a lock now too. Uncertain about Ennis but he probably has a good chance.

Boucher finally gonna get some decent minutes with y’all? 

I think that’s the plan. I’d imagine he at least gets an actual opportunity this year. There isn’t anything more the reigning MVP and DPOY can prove in the GLeague.

James Harden, Eric Gordon, and CJ McCollum have all withdrawn from the Team USA training camp. AD pulled out a couple of weeks ago too. So the roster has already been cut to 16 before tryouts even begin. They haven't announced the full "select" team that practices against them but it's been confirmed that DeAaron Fox, Marvin Bagley, Zion Williamson, and Landry Shamet will be there. 

With all of the recent pull-outs I expect that Zion will make the final 12 man roster. My new prediction

G - Damian Lillard | Kemba Walker | DeAaron Fox 

G - Bradley Beal | Donovan Mitchell 

G - Jayson Tatum | Khris Middleton 

F - Tobias Harris | Zion Williamson | Marvin Bagley 

C - Andre Drummond | Kevin Love

Jokic would drop 50 on this team 

That's pretty dope that he's going to be the best player in the tournament
