I know that hightower is know where close to making it to the NT :P, but where do you think he would rank in the top 10 for point guards atm, this would be very useful information as i am trying to decide whether to sell or keep him.

Haven't really followed the team but it seems like you did a fine job with everything and put the team in the right direction to move even higher.

In terms of his current skills I don't think he's in the top ten at all and I would be more likely to use guys like Mathews, Williams, Issa, etc. at PG before he suited up. That said, his high potential and OD make a very likely player in two to three seasons if you keep training him. I can see him being in a S. Milot type situation where he is on the edge of making the team for a long time.
I think you should keep working on him, though. He has the potential to be very good despite his height and most of the other young guards being tracked seem to be getting SG training. I just wouldn't expect him to even get considered for a callup for two or more seasons.

Good morning Canada,

Today is the begining of a new era as I have been elected to manage the National team. First I just want to thank all of those people who took the time and voted for me, it is appreciated. Next order of business is similar to what those before me have done and that is a list of goals:

Qualify for the World Championships- I realize that this is a loft goal but from following the team in the past and seeing the players now I think we can do it. Whether it direct or thru the repechage my first goal will be to try and get this team into the Worlds. Home court was hard earned in the previous seasons and will boed very well for us now, so thanks Chris.

Continue Scouting and Ranking As done in past regimes it will be crucial that I can establish and continue a strong scouting and ranking system. Chris will be handing the info he has collected and I will be sure to keep on top of it. This way we can ensure that the top players get the attention and support they need and deserve.

Embrace the Canadian Community- Honestly this may be the toughest of the three but in my mind it is the most important. The Canadian community has over 500 users of which less than 60 voted, meaning they have little to no interest in the National Team. Somehow I want/need to change that! I know others have made a similar commitment and feel like it was unsuccessful, but I will try my best. At this point I am not sure if it will be thru a blog, twitter or just mass PM's here but with everyone assistance I think we can help increase the Canadian communities activity level.

Please feel free to contact me for any reason. Whether it be a question, concern or if you are interested in helping out I will be happy to hear from you all.

Thanks again, and GO CANADA GO!!
