More on Trey Lyles & Canada basketball

Lyles, 28, just put the finishing touches on another solid season for the Kings.

Over 58 games, the 6’9 forward averaged 7.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 44 percent from the field and 38 percent from three-point range.

The veteran will have plenty of competition in camp to make the Canadian team, as several NBA talents will look to secure spots on Fernández’s roster.

MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander highlights a talent pool that also includes Dillon Brooks, Kelly Olynyk, RJ Barrett, Lu Dort, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dwight Powell, and NBA champion guard Jamal Murray.

Canada brings the most current NBA players (10) of any country outside the US to the Olympics.
