Final FIBA Rosters

[Hepcat]

48 hours before the start of the tournament. 12 players max.

All rosters should then be posted by now.

But I see that there are still fourteen names on Canada's roster which makes no sense:

This is incorrect.
Brissett is out. Injured and sent home
Duane Notice was cut and sent home.
Cory Joseph is in. Has been in China with the team for a couple days.
Chris Boucher has not been with the team for over a month now.
Connor Morgan (Joventut) was added yesterday to replace Brissett.
The rest is accurate.

Blame FIBA if you are confused.


Final 12 seems to be:
G:
Kevin Pangos (Barcelona)
Cory Joseph (Pacers -> Kings)
Phil Scrubb (Zenit -> Movistar)
Andrew Nembhard (Florida, NCAA)
Brady Heslip (Istanbul BSB -> FA)
Kaza Keane (Zwolle -> Mitteldeutscher BC)
Aaron Best (Ludwigsburg -> FA)

F:
Melvin Ejim (UNICS KAzan ->Unicaja)
Thomas Scrubb (Varese ->SIG Strasbourg

Bigs:
KhemBirch (Magic)
Owen Klassen (Ludwigsburg -> Antwerp)
Kyle Wiltjer (Unicaja -> Turk Telecom)
Conor Morgan (NZ Breakers -> Joventut)


Still a solid team and would pool out in most other pools. Good enough to upset Australia or Lithuania. But I am expecting a 17-20 finish despite being able to shit can many of the teams that will be in the 9 to 16 range.

C'est la vie!

Edit: Shit that is 13. Let me recheck.
Cant find anything offcial yet - most likely Best or Keane is the final cut. Doesn't matter much. I'd cut Heslip as we have a 6'10 version of him on the roster already.

This is like their team C or D and still solid on paper. Deep talent pool.

That's still thirteen.

So now that the roster declaration deadline has expired I see that Canada's roster on the FIBA site has grown to sixteen:

Very strange.

Canada breaking the rules as normal.

16 Canadians converts to 12 Americans, sounds about right.

Canada's roster is now set. Aaron Best and Oshae Brissett are out.

When did Brady Heslip rejoin Team Canada anyway? And when exactly did Cory Joseph arrive in China? Will he not still be jet-lagged on Sunday against Australia?

[mojo13]

Heslip was in Australia but late. He played the USA game. I think they made a mistake cutting Best for him. But it shouldn’t matter with these last guys.

Cory has been in China for a couple days - and yes, his fitness and preparation should be questioned. Everything about Basketball Canada should be questioned.
