To borrow a soccer term, the next couple of years might be Canada's "Golden Generation." They have some really good young prospects coming down the pike. 2012 might be premature, but by the time the 2016 Olympics roll around we could be looking at a medal contender, and they could possibly surpass the 2000 Olympic squad as arguably one of the best assembled.

Dally will never suit up for Canada again, as long as Rautins is coach. That being said, the players that you listed couldn't play together, it would be against FIBA rules. A national team may only have 1 player that was naturalized after the age of 15, both Dally and Bonner fit that description, so it would have to be 1 or the other, but that decision has already been made.
