I C the list of the invitees did not include the so called “next canadian star” andrew wiggins. I wonder if the decision to not include him on the try out list was mutual or he had other obligations? Because I dont see how you could call wiggins a canadian superstar if he does not even make a try out roster. The same can be said for top ranked canadian point guards like jabs newby, Taevaunn Prince, Dylan Ennis, or Melvin Ejim. Also is tristan thompson and cory joseph too old for the junior team?

Wiggins was at the tryout according to Roy Rana’s Twitter feed today. Some of the others may be there but not on the list. I’m going to try and get to some of the tryouts and see who is there that wasn’t on the original lists though.

As for Thompson and Joseph, there is a good chance they’ll be on the Senior Team list. They were around for the last part of the Senior Camps last summer so they should be around for the start of this one barring any commitments.

thats good news re: thompson and joseph, I would also like to see andrew nicholson at camp, maybe a guy like patrick tatham, or sefton barrett as well would be nice to see guys like that coming back from overseas to see what they can do at camp, also brining back guys like denham brown and juan mendez wouldnt be such a bad idea either, i dont know why they were released in the first place
