Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 4332364, member: 10709"] I disagree. I believe it's a combination of both. This isn't a bad thing in my opinion. I've found from watching US/AAU-style basketball, players can be very dependent on 1-on-1 play to succeed. This doesn't translate always translate in FIBA competition based on what I've seen over the years, both with Canadian and American players. The development program for Canada Basketball works on both, as athletes have to focus on what they bring to the team, while improving themselves. After international competitions, they're provided assessments on where they can improve which they can use with respective programs. This is very true. It's definitely a matter of how the athlete uses the experience when they are part of the team. Heck, it was playing for the Canadian Senior National Teams that helped to put Aaliyah and Kia on UConn's radar in the first place. [/QUOTE]
