Canada Basketball announced the 2010 Development Men’s National Team (DMNT) tryout/training camp roster, camp schedule and international competitions for the summer season. The camp runs from July 11-16 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ont, followed by a competition tour in Europe.
From July 17 – August 2, the DMNT will play a series of exhibition games against Cote D’Ivoire, Belgium, Great Britain, Finland, Netherlands and Spain. Following the tour, athletes from the team will be selected to continue with the Senior Men’s National Team (SMNT) training camp beginning in August.
"The development team has become an integral part of our national team program,” said Andrew Cook, Manager of Men’s Elite Performance for Canada Basketball. “Over the last few years we have had a growing number of very talented athletes within our age group national teams. This team gives us the opportunity to get them the high level international experience they need to be prepared to join the senior team in future years or, for some, later this year in Turkey."
The 2010 edition of the DMNT invitees features 12 players with international experience for Canada including Jesse Young (Peterborough, Ont.), Kyle Landry (Calgary, AB.) and Ryan Bell (Orleans, Ont.), who all played on the 2009 SMNT that qualified for the 2010 FIBA World Championship. The roster also includes 12 NCAA and CIS players such as Devoe Joseph (Pickering, Ont.), Kelly Olynyk (Kamloops, B.C.) and Jordan Baker (Edmonton, AB.).
“Coming off our bronze medal accomplishments with the Junior and Cadet men, I’m looking forward to working with these players to continue their development," said Senior and Development Men’s Head Coach Leo Rautins. “This camp and exhibition tour is a win-win for everyone involved, players and coaches, as we gain international exposure and experience for players who will be a big part of our future.”
Attached please find the DMNT tryout/training camp roster and schedule, as well as the list of the coaching staff and competition matches.
All training sessions are closed to the public.
