LOL, love me some pork chops...
"I absolutely love the way Tristan Thompson plays," McKinney said. "He’s like a pit bull who hasn’t been fed in about a year and you’ve got pork chops in your pocket. He’s a guy you don’t have to tell to play hard. He’s a guy you don’t have to tell to defend. He’s a guy you don’t have to tell to come and play with energy. I really respect the way he plays. His effort never changes."

Love that line ...

That is something that people have always commented on. Thompson is just non stop motion when he’s on the floor and his effort never lets up.

Where's Wiggin's?

Didn’t see his name on the All-Canada list. Has he played too many All-Star games?

P.S. taking my kid to the A-game work-out. You should get a commission on my $75. :)

When it comes to Wiggins, no he hasn’t played in too many (though he mave actually played too many games in the year so far in my opinion). There are a few guys that are missing on that roster and I think it has more to do with availability than anything. The U16 team begins working out in Toronto this weekend and leaves for South America the week of the All Canada Classic so that is what I’m thinking is the case. I’ll see who’s coming out to the camp this week and anyone missing from the roster not named Kabongo, Wiltjer or Birch will likely be there.

And if you happen to run into Kyle Julius at the A-Game workout tell him that Can Ball Ray sent ya. He’s a good guy and was a hell of a player in the CIS.
