What will Team Canada look like at the FIBA Basketball World Cup? loung_s has come up with a possible roster.
Taking a closer look at this theoretical roster, the five gentlemen you see above are who should be the starters.
And for those who are down on Wiggins even being on the roster, let alone starting, don’t get things twisted. While there’s no doubt he hasn’t lived up to his No. 1 overall pick billing, that doesn’t take away from the fact he’s still supremely athletic and can create his own shot like no other Canadian would be able to on the roster. Traits that will be important in crunch time.
Defensively, this team would be able to switch just about everything because of how long and athletic everyone is. Switching on defence will be important for Canada because of the myriad of high-skill shooters and the prevalence of pick-and-roll/pop in the international game. Switching can help mitigate this, especially on the perimeter where Canada would have a number of hard-nosed athletes – guys like Brooks, Gilgeous-Alexander and Joseph.
