Team Canada represented very well at Adidas Nations defeating USA (Noah) USA (Rose) and Team Asia, while losing a physical battle against Africa. This group showed growth through each game despite only being together for a few days. The coaches used a collective effort to push the players from every angle–Joey McKitterick, Dwayne Washington, Nelson Osse, Kenold Knight and Nathifa Weekes rounded out the coaching staff.
Koby McEwen lead the attack for Canada, finishing third in scoring at Adodas Nations at 21 PPG, and first in steals at 3 SPG.
Each game someone new stepped up, however it was impressive to see the young guns, 2018s Simi Shittu and Lugentz Dort impact games on both ends despite youth.
