Hey Canada 🇨🇦

I might not be the most experienced applicant, needless, it would be challenging to find more motivated!

Let’s get Canada back towards the top of the table. There are too many smart GM in Canada with great skilled players that we should be competing with teams in the top 10.

Nevertheless, let’s aim to reduce our ranking in the next 2 seasons to be in the top 20 in World rankings. Then we must aim to be part of the top 10 within season 73.

Elect me and give a boost to Canada basketball 🏀 🇨🇦

All good intentions, but how do you plan on achieving that?

And question for Narrylegend: is there any reason to focus on MVP/HOF players for the U21?

gpolin, last trophy in s64 was under your direction... you're telling us you shot yourself in the foot there?!

Thanks for the question Fwinns.
What I noticed following team Canada is the great skill the team has.
Team Canada is behind their skill only with a missed opportunities to beat Americas teams and missed preparations for a better point differential against tougher appointments.
Discussing with Canadian managers, seems to be an opportunity to continue working together to identify young prospects and mold them for becoming NT caliber. It is not always easy to manage successful U21 and transform all these skilled players into NT caliber.
Needless, U21 is in great shape, and we need to increase communication with active managers to develop young prospects for U21 purposes, and young ones for NT purposes (some might take more time). We need to have a Team Canada with an average age for the starting 5 maintained at 28-29 yo. It is hard to compete with starters on their downside.
Hence, to get Canada to a more respectable ranking, we must:
- Be active
- Following up with managers
- Be strategically be ready every matchup to increase Ws and better point diff.,
- Work together with U21 NT to identify coming up players and mold them for future needs.
Looking forward to assist Canada in the process to competitive ranks!
