Bennett, Wiggins

Anyone know why Anthony Bennett and Andrew Wiggins are not on the roster of the Junior and Cadet teams respectively?

Also for the Junior team are guys like Kabongo, Witljer, Thomas and any others just committed to their college programs or what is their absence.

Witjer, Kabongo and Thomas are all committed to their college teams now and thus not on the rosters.

As for Bennett and Wiggins, I’m not sure. I know that Wiggins was supposed to play on the Junior team but he wasn’t on the final roster. I’m not sure for Bennett. He was battling injuries all season and may just be sitting this summer out to rehab (despite playing in the Pangos All American and All Canada Classic where he was in the dunk off).
