Good mix of size and skill to put up against more traditional international teams that run these no name goon bigs at you and out rebound your life if the matchups are getting out of hand and a bag of super switchable 6'5-6'7 guys to run out there against teams playing a more modern game.

Would've been really nice to have Clarke. Too bad. He'd be starting PF most likely. Size is gonna be a big issue unless Edey is actually good.

And I sure hope they don't overplay Brooks.
 
Toronto Sun says Sharpe and Mathurin actually will be at camp, but have been told they aren't in contention for a spot.
 
Boucher on being left off the Team Canada training camp

Yeah, he would make a lot of sense on that roster tbh. Trey Lyles is really the only guy with a skill set that sits between the guys limited to centre and centre only (Kelly and Edey) and the copious amount of smallish wings we have. Would really like to have another body or two that can rebound at both ends, defend around the rim in a small ball setups, etc.
 
Good trade for both. OKC is trying to win now, as they should. Their timeline has been accelerated and Giddy is a good prospect but just a good prospect. Chicago needs to tear down and play the young guys.

I expect OKC to go and get a rotation big now though they might just go and get Bitadze under the radar because Presti is one of the smartest guys in the league.
 
OKC needs to decide who to pay of their group. Giddy was the smart one to decide to cut bait on IMO, but still a very worthwhile gamble for the Bulls, and Caruso+ Dort is stupid good D for that team
