      A list of names is nice, but tell us what you think of this team. Best players? Strengths/weakness?

        I took a look at Mexico's preliminary list. Looks like a pretty solid squad. All their primary players are there (Gutierrez, Hernandez, Mota, Cruz, Stoll). Seems they are taking this tournament pretty seriously.

        Brazil's list is almost entirely made up of young guys, including guys like Bruno Caboclo and George de Paula. Seems they're looking at it as more of a development opportunity.

        Puerto Rico has a couple of familiar names (including Shabazz Napier - when did he start playing for PR?), but not too many I recognize. They also had a bunch of guys near the end of their careers the last few tournaments though, with guys like Arroyo, Balkman and Barea, so maybe it's a youth movement more by necessity than design.

        No announcement with Canada yet but we expect it to be a team of lower level Pro's and maybe some youth sprinkled in (CIS, RJ Barrett etc.).-We are trying to keep track of the possible player pool for the WC qualification on the RealGM Raptors Board (Look for the Team Canada Basketball thread).

        Here is what we are thinking might be available (assuming the AmeriCup would use this pool too, but who knows if they add some EuroLeague or NBA guys).



        Canada's Potential Player Pool for FIBA AmeriCup and WC Qualification Games
        This list is focusing on Pro players - Canada Basketball has stated that some CIS guys and younger prospects might be involved as well.

        Probably's: (Signed with teams where they officially wont be restricted to play, or FAs that most likely don't sign with restricted teams ie: Euroleague/NBA.

        Jermaine Anderson (PG) FA Last season in France
        Junior Caduogan (PG) last season in NBL
        Duane Notice (PG) FA Last season in NCAA
        Olivier Hanlan (PG/SG) FA? last season signed in France. FIBA Champions League team

        Justin Edwards (SG) FA? last season in Hungary
        Devoe Joseph (SG) FA? last season in Venezuela
        Andy Rautins (SG) FA? last season in Turkey
        Jason Calliste (SG FA? last season in D-League
        Brady Heslip (SG) signed in Turkey
        Daniel Mullins (SG) FA? last season in Finland


        Dyshawn Pierre (SF) signed in Italy. FIBA Champions League team
        Jermaine Bucknor (SF) FA? last season in Germany/Argentina
        Thomas Scrubb (SF) signed in Italy. FIBA Champions League team
        Jevohn Shepperd (SF) FA. signed in France FIBA Champions League team
        Kris Joseph (SF) FA? last season in Italy

        Olu Ashaolu (PF) FA? Last season in Japan
        Kyle Landry (PF) FA Last season in Russia
        Chris Boucher (PF/C) signed a two way for G-League
        Owen Klassen (PF/C) signed in Greece
        Jordan Bachynski (C) signed in Japan
        Rob Sacre (C) signed in Japan
        Sim Bhullar (C) Parts unknown, weight unknown....last season in Taiwan and China 2nd Division.

        Maybe's: (have the potential to be with teams that won't release them)
        Xavier Rathan Maynes (PG) FA - has a NYK camp invite
        Phil Scrubb (PG/SG) FA. Last year in Germany.
        Dylan Ennis (PG/SG) citizenship - tied to Jamaica? Signed in Serbia.
        Carl English (SG) FA? Maybe retired from National Team?
        Naz Long (SG) FA - citizenship, may play for Greece
        RJ Barrett (SG/SF) Highschool. He is good enough for this team and obviously has tight ties with the program. I could see him taking a break from Monteverde and playing.
        Andrew Nicholson (PF) - FA. Last year in NBA
        Melvin Ejim (PF) Signed in Russia. EuroCup team - unknown if he will be released
        Anthony Bennett (PF/C) FA. Last year in NBA/Euroleague
        Joel Anthony (C) FA - Retired? Last year in NBA

        Probably Not's:
        Kyle Wilter (PF) FA Last year in NBA/D-League. Strong rumors tying him to Baskonia (EuroLeague team)
        Dillon Brooks (SF/PF) - Signed with Grizzlies. A chance he will be in the G-league, but doubtful.
        Khem Birch (PF/C) Signed with Magic. Non-guaranteed deal. Could be cut or sent to G-League
        Trey Lyles (PF) Traded to Denver. A chance he will be in the G-League (lots of PFs on Denver roster)

        No's: NBA won't release players in conflict windows, neither will Euroleague. We might get them for the summer series'
        All NBA guys.
        Kevin Pangos (PG) Euroleague
        Aaron Doornekamp (SF/PF) Euroleague
        Stefan Jankovic (PF) Euroeague - said he wants to play for Serbia
        Myck Kabongo (PG) last season Mexico? NBL? Playing for DR Congo in FIBA Afrobasket.

        Junior Cadougan
        Guard
        6'2
        Toronto, ON
        London Lightning (NBL)

        Justin Edwards
        Guard
        6'3
        Scarborough, ON

        6'9
        Mississauga, ON
        Washington Wizards /
        Brooklyn Nets (NBA)


        A decent list considering what a mess FIBA has made.
        A solid group of athletic guards but fairly lacking depth up front. Andrew Nicholson will be very important here.

        I suspect the top group is going to be:
        Xavier Rathan Maynes (PG)
        Olvier Hanlan (SG/PG)
        Dyshwan Pierre (SF/PF)
        Andrew Nicholson (PF/C)
        Joel Anthony (C)

        Jermaine Anderson (PG)
        Justin Edwards (SG)
        Daniel Mullings (SG/SF)
        Brady Heslip (SG)
        Naz Long (SG)
        Murphy Burnatowski (PF)
        Richard Amardi (PF/C)

        We are going to need to run with three guards often.

            Yay! I like seeing those National Basketball League of Canada players on the list. Hopefully some or all of them make the final roster.

            I keep wondering how the London Lightning, the NBL champions, would do in the EuroCup competition. I suspect the team would be near or at the bottom of the Euroleague, but it might be quite competitive in EuroCup games.

              In the first day of the "Super 4" tournament, Argentina beat Colombia 78-59, while Uruguay edged Brazil 69-63. Looks like Jayson Granger is playing for Uruguay for the first time in a while.

                Puerto rico team for the Americup.

                Jorge Bryan Diaz (C, 6'11" BSN, 27 yrs old), Tyler Davis (C, 6'10" Texas A&M, 20 yrs old)

                Carlos "Yao" Lopez (PF/C, 6'11" BSN, 27 yrs old) Gilberto Clavell (PF/SF, 6'7" BSN, 28 yrs old) Chris Gaston (PF/SF, 6'5" BSN, 28 yrs old)

                Chris Ortiz (SF, 6'8" BSN, 24 yrs old) Emmy Andujar (SF/SG, 6'6" BSN, 25 yrs old) Juan Ramón Rivas (SF/PF, 6'9" North Georgia, 22 yrs old)

                Mike Rosario (SG, 6'3" BSN, 26 yrs old)

                Carlos Rivera (PG, 6'3" BSN, 34 yrs old) Alex Abreu (PG, 5'10" BSN, 26 yrs old) Angel Rodriguez (PG, 5'11" Maccabi Haifa, 24 yrs old)


                6 players debuting with the national team. Davis, Gaston, Ortiz, Andujar, Rivas(Son of former player Ramon Rivas), and Rodriguez. The mayority of the players are from our local league, two college players and only one who played in europe.


                Players to watch?

                Tyler Davis
                The future of the team in the center position, i hope this experience helps him grow when he comes back to his college team.

                Juan Ramon Rivas JR
                Son of Ramon Rivas, i'm curious to see what he can do at this stage.

                Angel Rodriguez
                Another player i'm looking forward to see, i think he's going to take the place of barea when he retires, hoping to see him getting good minutes in this tournament.


                Strengths?
                A lot of good defensive hard working players.

                Weakness?
                SCORING!!!!, who's going to shoot the ball?, for the first time we are lacking a natural scorer, they would need to play as a team if they want to move to the next round, everyone needs to contribute offensively.





                Update:Alex abreu in, Denis clemente out.

                    If nothing else this tournament will be very good insight into how some of these teams will look in the qualifiers. A good tournament result means less to worry about.

                      Decent US squad given the circumstances. I wonder how many of these guys will actually be available for the qualifiers. Plumlee just got a training camp invite from the Clippers and the other younger players will probably have a chance to make an NBA team too.

                          ARG is looking strong in their warm up games.

                          Is seems a near full squad with a number of guys who may not be available in the WC Qualifers (Scola, Campazzo, Vildoza and Brussino?). I guess they are going for Gold with it being on home turf.


                          Them and USA the favorites?

                          Mexico, Canada, and maybe Brazil a step down? Mexico seemingly has most of their core and should be good. Canada is an unknown, but there is definitely some talent on that roster. Not sure if is enough to overcome the inexperience and unfamiliarity with each other. Also I am pretty sure they are just looking at this as warm-up games for the WC Qualifiers, as they will not be playing one exhibition game before the AmeriCup.

                          Any reads on Brazil yet? Lost to Uruguay - I am not sure what that means.

                            Small team with a good group of guards and not much depth up front after Andrew Nicholson.
                            Key players:
                            Andrew Nicholson (PF/C) - after a few unproductive years in the NBA he was waived by Portland this summer. I think he is an elite scorer at the FIBA level, with great post moves and easily has three point range. He will be our main front court scorer and could easily lead the team in scoring. Poor defender, does'nt protect the rim and a black hole on offense.

                            Joel Anthony (C) - about the opposite of Nicholson. He will be our lone paint defender. Low level NBA vet near retirement, but the best we have on this roster at interior defense. Zero offensive game whatsoever. No idea how we defend the paint if he gets in foul trouble. I don't know when he last played serious game minutes though - he could be a little old and out of shape here.

                            Dyshawn Pierre (PF/SF) - very under the radar player, but I think a real key for this team. Undersized as a PF but will play there allot. Lead the BBL in rebounding. Young, fast, high IQ, good passer, mobile wing/paint player. Just signed in Italy (Series A) after a great rookie season in German BBL. He had lead Canada often at youth FIBA tournaments. His game reminds me allot of Melvin Ejim.

                            Olivier Hanlan (SG/PG) - 3rd year pro, drafted by the Jazz, but never made an NBA team. Had a good summer league for the Spurs and had a solid year for Le Mans last year in France.

                            Xavier Rathan Mayes (PG) - just graduated from Florida State after a solid NCAA career and went undrafted - had a good summer league for the Knicks and received a partial guarantee camp invite. Once a high volume ineffecient scorer in the NCAA he really changed himself into a competent PG who is a plus defender.

                            Brady Heslip SG - maybe one of the best distance shooters in the world, and maybe one of the worst defenders in the world at the same time. He is a nice tool to have at this level (just signed in Turkey after a year in the G league).

                            Jermaine Anderson (PG) - a veteran PG for Canada. A nice steady hand to guide the team to balance out more explosive but unsteady youngsters like XRM and Olivier Hanlan.

                            I think this group will get the bulk of the minutes.

                              Is seems a near full squad with a number of guys who may not be available in the WC Qualifers (Scola, Campazzo, Vildoza and Brussino?). I guess they are going for Gold with it being on home turf.


                              Them and USA the favorites?
                              I think Argentina is the favorite...they have enough of their main players, plenty of international experience, and playing at home. US has a decent roster but who knows how they'll come together, it feels like the same sort of roster that goes to the Pan Am games and doesn't win.

                                Mexico beats Puerto Rico in game one. Not much to say, fairly close game. ESPN's stream quality is very nice at least.
