I just called up Gary Milot to play back up PG.

Gary Milot: After starting the season off of the active roster Gary Milot is making his return to the team and is expected to contribute immediately. Milot was somewhat of a prodigy in his youth, debuting for the u21 at just 19 years of age and then stealing the starting PG spot from national team legend Jean-Francois Joly as soon as he turned 22. Unfortunately for Milot, he's never had the kinds of physical gifts that made scouts' jaws drop and it was always speculated his lack of athleticism would limit his development. After years of getting by on cunning and court-smarts it appears as if Milot is as good as he's ever going to be. He will play back up PG and may get some minutes SG if need be going forward.

Picard has spent a bit too much time eating poutine this week and isn't mentally or physically ready to compete at the highest level.

No worries. Those things happen and it's better that it happen now than later in the schedule. He seems to be heading back in the right direction.

I posted some thoughts on this coming Monday's game against Bolivia on the offsite forum. If people want to head over there and give me some thoughts I would appreciate it.

I booked a scrimmage against Panama for this coming Monday since we have the week off from competition.

Last week I also added a player:
Daniel Spencer has been added to the team to shore up a front line that has been decimated by injuries and poor game shape. Spencer came into the season as the projected backup powerforward after playing 7 games with the NT in the past, but the meteoric rise of Christopher Moran pushed him off the team. The versatility of Haines looked like it pushed Spencer out of the NT picture but when Haines went down injured and Moran (allegedly) developed an addiction cheese-steak the NT was desperate to find a new big man. Spencer has stayed in phenomenal shape all season and his manager was actively looking for ways to get him back into the NT fold so when opportunity knocked Spencer was ready to suit up once again for the national team.
