While they won?t be playing for Canada in next month?s FIBA Americas tournament in Venezuela, give this country?s two newest NBA players credit for showing up.
No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and No. 13 selection Kelly Olynyk are in Toronto for this week?s Canada Basketball camp, lending whatever they can to the group of players assembled.
?It?s tough ? I always wanted to play, especially with (this) great group of guys,? said Bennett after watching practice at the Air Canada Centre on Friday. Bennett is still recovering from a shoulder injury, and with Olynyk on the shelf as well, their respective pro teams in Cleveland and Boston would have likely had serious reservations if the frontcourt players had suited up in the maple leaf.
?Everyone wants to be here,? said Olynyk. ?It?s really nice to see that everyone is so keen to represent their country and do it as a team.?
