Ejim & Mitrou-Long trying out for Canadian national team

[baagoe]

A lot of NBA guys not going out so I'd say the chances for both of them are solid. Full list below.

My bad. Fixed it, should work now.

So, looks like there's a decent chance Naz isn't going to play in the CCL then -- or at least the first game, anyway.

joel anthony still plays? Oh to be a marginally athletic tall person.

 

[Hayes30]

Ejim is already in team Canada I thought?

 

[CoKane]

How many people can they put on their roster from that list?

Good article, and it sounds like he is improving at a nice pace.

I got a kick out of this quote in the piece:

"That's his edge, being that glue guy and that intangible guy on a team, because he does have that toughness, mentally and physically."

 

[McKinney]

Shouldn't be too hard to beat out a couple of Scrubbs to make the team.

Unless I misunderstood Naz, he said he made it.

Well, he does speak Canadian so I can understand the misunderstanding.
