Canada vs. Greece preview

The Canadians are favoured in their first match at the Paris Games and it's easy to see why. Canada has an uber-talented backcourt in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray, a combination fans have been clamouring to see.

Ten players within the 12-man roster are active in the NBA, including Toronto Raptors RJ Barrett and Kelly Olynyk. Other notable names include Dillon Brooks and Andrew Nembhard.

Canada has more talent across the board than Greece, which only rosters one NBA player. That player, however, is a freak.

Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo gives Greece a game-breaker who could cause major problems for the undersized Canadians around the hoop.

While there are no other NBA players on Team Greece, the Canadians can't take them lightly.

The Greeks are a veteran-laden bunch that steamrolled their competition in a recent qualifying tournament. That includes a 96-68 thrashing of Luka Doncic and Slovenia.
