    Assuming everyone participates I think this is the final roster.

    PG- Cory Joseph, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Kevin Pangos
    SG- Jamaal Murray, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Brady Heslip
    SF-RJ Barrett, Dillon Brooks
    PF-Kelly Olynyk, Melvin Ejim
    C- Tristan Thompson, Dwight Powell, Khem Birch
     
    This is actually 13 players so one would have to be dropped. I think thats between Pangos, Heslip and Birch. Most likely the two gaurds.

     Wiggins said he wanted to focus on upcoming NBA season.  He hasn’t played for Canadian team since 2015 during the FIBA World Cup.

         I agree, but still easily good enough for a starting spot on that roster.

    Mitrou-long should make the roster. He was an ok player for Utah last year. some of the others haven’t been in the us for years. Pangos was pretty good but never got an nba opportunity. Boucher May haven  breakout season. Is this the Olympics roster?

       I dont think Boucher will make the roster. Ive watched him play quite a bit and he has minor attitude problems and a terrible shot selection. Being G League MVP has its pros and cons. Hes still a great teammate and very coachable but he has a negative attitude complains on every call that doesnt go his way and thinks any shot he takes is a good shot. 

      Melvin Ejim is gauranteed to fill a roster spot 100% which to me knocks Boucher out. Ejim should be on an NBA roster Im not sure why noone has looked into signing him.
