With 26 representatives (at the start of the year) in the Great League, Canada has more than enough to present a 100% NBA squad at the Paris Olympic Games. A will that emerges from the statements of Dillon Brooks.
According to the Rockets player, his counterparts in the American League should not hesitate to answer the Olympic call. “ When you come to play for your country, it's about pride, it's not about money, it's nothing but the pride of representing your country. They played with Canada in the past, we need to improve », he asks, referring to the squad involved in the last World Cup.
Bronze medalist at the end of the competition, Canada was able to send an impressive team, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, RJ Barrett and Dillon Brooks as figureheads. Initially announced, Jamal Murray had to abandon the competition, while Bennedict Mathurin, Chris Boucher and still Andrew Wiggins had skipped the competition. “ No matter who is on the team or the rest, we have to improve and be ready », Ambitions the former Grizzlies player who nevertheless hopes that the team will be even denser next summer.
Andrew Wiggins…finally?
This one has three players in mind: Jamal Murray, Andrew Nembhard and Andrew Wiggins. “ I said, after winning bronze, that it didn't matter, that we had to re-engage. We have to improve. So add Jamal, Nembhard, Wiggins », Claims Dillon Brooks, convinced that these players, “ altruistic » will make the team better.
We remind you that Andrew Wiggins “would love” to compete in the Olympics with his selection, but there have been many announcements about him in the past. One thing is certain, he and the Pacers player were not among the initial list of players who committed to a three-year international project starting in 2022. Their arrival would further densify a Canadian team in the Olympic battle, facing the United States in particular.
