Former Gonzaga standouts will officially make the trip to Paris after both were named to Canada's final 12-man roster
As Team Canada prepares for an exhibition against Team USA in Las Vegas, the national team announced the final 12-man roster that’ll make the trip across the Atlantic in the coming weeks. Andrew Nembhard and Kelly Olynyk were among the 11 NBA players chosen, as Olynyk was elected the team’s captain.
Olynyk, coming off his 11th NBA season, has played 756 games and posts career averages of 10.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists. The 33-year-old signed an extension with the Toronto Raptors in March after being traded from the Utah Jazz. “Kelly’s had an incredible career,” Mark Few said during a press conference in June. “He’s done what he does best, man. He’s just a really, really smart, tough, really good basketball player and that’s why he fits in great everywhere.”
Nembhard averaged 14.9 points and 5.5 assists while posting a true shooting percentage of 65.4% across 17 postseason games.
