For years, the 2024 Canadian menโ€™s basketball team has been projected as one of the strongest international opponents to American supremacy in Olympic basketball.

Canadaโ€™s team is not without flaws. Its frontcourt could struggle against American and French teams that can bring a ton of size to the court.ย ย 

Still, itโ€™s impossible to argue with the amount of raw, young talent that Team Canada brings to the table.

Hereโ€™s a look at the Canadian menโ€™s basketball players with an NBA background.
