Interesting year for Canada.
Shai Gilgeous Alexander is turning out to be something special relegating Milos Teodosic to the discard heap (Patrick Beverly too!)
The NCAA has a number of surprises too. I have seen all the following on various mock drafts projected as 2019 first round picks:
RJ Barrett
Lugeuntz Dort
Simi Shittu
Nickeil Alexander Walker
Ignas Brazdeikis
Brandon Clarke
Oshae Brissett
Lindell Wigginton
Andrew Nembhard
Of course not all of them will be drafted and/or turn into good NBA players, but it seems a few will. Not sure what other countries are producing anything close to this volume of NBA talent.
Chris Boucher is another interesting one as well - he has been the best player in the G-League by far this season. Check out these stats:
The talent is already there - this crop of youngster is fuel to the fire....
Further I am seeing more and more signs of most NBA guys buying into the national program (except Andrew Wiggins and Trey Lyles).
