Pick your 2020 Olympic Roster

Dead serious here. You guys should medal this Summer. Australia and Slovenia should be pretty stout but I think you can pull it off.

Also, don't forget about Nickeil Alexander Walker

No way does Canada even come close to a medal. There are at least a dozen countries better than them.

A dozen? Really?

Popovich has you traveling the globe in your scouting efforts?

A dozen? Really?

Yeah let's see the list @Shaqdaddy11

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

A dozen? Really?

Yes, easily.

Spain, Australia, Argentina, France, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Brazil, Italy, Poland, Croatia and Turkey to name the dozen outside of the USA

In fact, Canada is ranked 21st in the world.

So yeah, Canada probably won't medal.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yeah let's see the list @Shaqdaddy11

Sure, just posted them.

Can't say I know where Canada might finish, but you get you are basing this off 2019 rosters and not the players mentioned earlier in this thread?

Yes. Tristan Thompson and Kelly Olynyk aren't beating any of the teams I mentioned before.

Canada has ranked that low because none of the players in the NBA were able to or have played for the country. . This time around most players of all committed. And it seems like everybody's getting on board.

And still they won't do shit. Canada's roster just isn't that good.

Don't get me wrong, they might eventually crack the top 10 but it is VERY unlikely they get a medal in the Olympics.

Did you actually look at the roster? This team can definitely medal.

Lol, be realistic.

Look, it's not a personal attack. They just don't stand a chance against teams like Spain, Argentina or France.

 

[dtgold88]

Yes. Tristan Thompson and Kelly Olynyk aren't beating any of the teams I mentioned before.

Olynyk, TT, Murray, Barrett, Powell, Wiggins, SGA

you were using the 2019 roster as your evidence.

Priceless.

When asked who was better you based it on a ranking of a completely different Canadian team.

Hilarious.

Then you should be confident enough to place a wager that a team with the mighty Tristan Thompson will win a medal.

Put your money where your mouth is.

My making a bet wont take away how absurd it was for you to try and rip the Canadian team by producing a ranking of a completely different team.

But, sure....if the projected roster plays in the games I'd wager they finish top 12.
