Canada Basketball officially unveiled the final roster for the Development Men’s National Team (DMNT) that will be competing in several exhibition games in Europe this summer. From July 17 – August 2, the DMNT will play against Ivory Coast, Belgium, Great Britain, Finland, Netherlands and Spain.
“This tour is a great opportunity to develop our pool of young elite players," said Senior and Development Men’s Head Coach Leo Rautins. “Playing eight games in four countries in two weeks gives our athletes a chance to experience the intensity and adversity of international competition to better prepare them for the senior level.”
The 2010 edition of the DMNT features members of the 2009 Senior Men’s National Team (SMNT) that helped Canada qualify for the upcoming FIBA World Championship including Kyle Landry (Calgary, AB.) and Ryan Bell (Orleans, Ont.). In addition, Toronto native and former Seattle SuperSonic Denham Brown makes his return to the Canada Basketball program.
The roster also includes seven NCAA and CIS players such as Devoe Joseph (Pickering, Ont.), Kelly Olynyk (Kamloops, B.C.) and Jordan Baker (Edmonton, AB.).
Following the tour, select athletes will be invited to continue with the SMNT training camp beginning in August.
Attached please find the DMNT roster as well as the list of the coaching staff and competition matches.
