Jamal Murray & Team Canada

[Aligned_for_9]

Jamal Murray and Team Canada begin play in the 2015 Pan-American Games this Tuesday, July 21.

What do we expect from Murray during the Pan-Am Games? Will he be a starter?

At minimum, Canada plays Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Argentina.

The veteran PG on Team Canada is Junior Cadougan.

He played for Marquette in 2013. He's also played in the NBA D-League for Milwaukee... undrafted.

It Italy, he averages 2.21 FG attempts per game and 8.0 minutes per game.

The youngest since the late seventies (I believe it was 1978, according to Fran Fraschilla). At that time, a 17 year old made the team. Since that time, the youngest player to make the Canadian senior national team was Steve Nash in the early nineties, and he was 19 at that point. Murray is currently 18.

Nash is good company to keep.

Jamal Murray, the MVP of the @nikehoopsummit, is mature beyond his years--he's 18 but plays like he's 28. @UKCoachCalipari has a gem.

Could have Wiltjer, Murray and Lyles on team Canada for the 2016 Olympics.
