The Best Canadian NBA Players 27 and Under

Alright, so it’s Canada Day.

And since it is, I want to take this opportunity to showcase the best that the North has to offer.

So, here are the 5 best Canadian players in the league right now (and by “best,” I mean my favourite).

Aha, Got ‘Em!

5) R.J. Barrett

Why I like him: Barrett is a well-rounded gritty scorer with a bit of flair in his game.

4) Lu Dort

Why I like him: Dort is a tough, gritty defender -much like Tony Allen or Patrick Beverley- who has the offensive skills to easily average 15+ points per game.

3) Jamal Murray

Why I like him: Acrobatic and explosive. That’s all I have to say. 

Oh, and Murray can get buckets in bunches, too.

2) Andrew Wiggins

Why I like him: Wiggins was by far the best Canadian player this season. He’s a skilled two-way player who can guard almost anyone and is an explosive dunker.

1) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Why I like him: I’m just going to put this out there first -Shai is going to be the future of Canadian basketball.

As for why he’s my favourite: Shai’s got some nice footwork. And he’s got some nifty skills. And he just looks cool.

Final Thoughts

Well, that’s all folks!

Hope you have a great Canada Day if you’re Canadian and a great weekend if you’re not.
