A team with 11 NBA players (7 who return from the 2023 WC), this is unquestionably the best Canadian team ever assembled on paper. Melvin Ejim, a longtime SMNT vet, is the lone overseas pro going to Paris.

While Phil Scrubb, Tommy Scrubb and Mfiondu Kabengele were not officially named to the roster, Michael Grange reported that they’ll continue to travel with the team as injury insurance. Kabengele especially is someone I’ve been intrigued by all season in Athens and Venice.

Per @CanBball men’s GM Rowan Barrett, all three of Kabengele, Tommy and Phil Scrubb will travel to Europe as injury insurance and practice preparation etc: https://t.co/PA6bqlPy58
