brady heslip

sim bhullar
thompson
bennett
wiggins
joseph

stauskas

Cuz none of em played in the qualifying cept for Cory and Tristan and Nicholson...

2016 is too soon but 2020 could be a big jump with the additions of Justin Jackson,Jamal Murray and maybe even Thom Maker if he decides to become a citizen :banderas:

Sim Bhullar is never making Team Canada. You forgot Nicholson and Olynyk. No chance he would be there before them.

Soccer i cant figure out,all these immigrant children of some of the top playing countries in the world coming up in this country yet we cant field a decent national team...speaks volumes how bad the recruiting and funding for it is here,cuz thats what it is...

Even if all our young NBA guys played we'd still be a middle of the pack team internationally right now cuz none of these guys are stars...

We need 5-7 years for the Wiggns,Jacksons,Lyles type dudes to develop cuz those are the guys that could be stars...We aint winning medals with Olynyk,Heslip,Pangos and Robert Socray...

soccer is the most played sport in canada as well, there is just zero funding.

and the few cats that are good they go overseas at a young age 14,15 and end up playing for those countries, hargreaves, that nukka who played for netherlands who was born and bred in brampton

canada has the money and a great country to poach some young phenom kid out of brazil or whatever and set his fam up in canada

we used to do that for track and field
