This is wild …. the illustration at the end scaling a basketball court to Wemby-like dimensions for an average-sized person is a bit mind-blowing, but ya, makes sense.

Trae Bell Haynes in the mix for a EuroLeague call-up as well, as replacement to Barcelona's Nicolas Laprovittola who tore his ACL. TBH playing great in the ACB putting up 18/5/2.5.

Isiaha Mike is almost back from a preseason injury. Looking forward to see what he can do in the EuroLeague for the first time. He's been a Euro favourite for a couple of us SMNT sickos for a few years now. But we still need to see him pull on red and white.

Frederic Fauthoux on newest Partizan member Isiaha Mike: "When we talked with him two years ago, we explained to him that if he worked like he needed to, he would have surely moved to the EuroLeague. When the opportunity to join Partizan came, I was so happy. For him first and for our job, too. He’s a versatile player and can cover multiple positions. He can drive, he can shoot, he’s a great teammate. I hope he can adjust quickly to the EuroLeague. Working with Zeljko [Obradovic] is an even better opportunity to improve again".

How Barnes, Olynyk combination can help Raptors exploit defences

Scottie Barnes and Kelly Olynyk barely shared the floor last season but this year they represent an interesting combination the Raptors can use to exploit defences.

ICYMI, my thoughts on the likely end of an era for @CanBball women’s program, a group that didn’t get the storybook ending they might have hoped for: sportsnet.ca/olympics/articl…

Difficult exit for women's basketball team, whose veteran experience did not pay off

It’s the first time Canada has gone winless in pool play since 1996, and quite a step down for a program making a Canadian-record fourth consecutive Olympic appearance and only two years removed from...

Lots of questions and talk about whether Jamal Murray is 100% and why he isn’t playing more for Canada in the first two games. I asked him about that after yesterday’s win, and loved his answer.
