Team Canada Cadet Men – Who Made The Cut?
The Team Canada Cadet Mens coaching staff have cut six players, as the training camp roster is down to 16. Here is some feedback I’ve received from the coaching staff:
General Thoughts
- Justin Jackson and Jamal Murray continue to lead the pack, showing confidence (most international experience)
- Marcus Ottey gaining comfort and looking better as camp has progressed
- Koby McEwan & Brandon Cyrus going at it; good intensity from both
On Cut Players
- Jermaine Haley noted as arguably the most skilled player in attendance, with great feel (suffered concussion).
- Jauquin Bennett-Boire one of the strongest guards at camp, has made good improvements over the last year, but must transition to lead guard.
- Lindell Wigginton was impressive, crafty guard, youngest player in attendance with room to grow
- Julian Roche – big body (6’10) passionate and wants to learn, must improve athleticism
- Quinton Gray surprised many and made it further than most expected.
- Maxime Boursiquot – finding his position
