Between preparation for the Olympic Games and the NBA Summer League, there’s going to be a strong Gonzaga men’s basketball contingency next month in Las Vegas.
With just over a week to go until training camp, USA Basketball announced the 12-man select team roster that will help prepare the senior men’s national team for their journey to Paris. Of the current NBA, G League and international players selected to go down to Las Vegas, former Bulldogs and current Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs was among the young crop of talent chosen for the assignment.
Suggs will train with the senior national team as it gears up for its exhibition match against Team Canada on July 10 at T-Mobile Arena. The Canadians roster features 13 NBA players, including former Gonzaga standouts Kelly Olynyk and Andrew Nembhard. In his third year as a pro, Suggs, who turned 23 earlier this month, was named to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team after he finished tied for eighth in steals and was tied for 12th in steals-to-turnover ratio . The Minnesota native recorded at least one steal in 57 games and two-or-more steals in 31 games, including a career-high six steals on Nov. 9 against Atlanta.
