Source: A.J. Lawson had the best pro day out of anyone with Excel, at one point making 22 straight 3’s.
Not sure if anybody has helped their draft stock as much as A.J. over the last week.
I have heard from multiple NBA scouts that Oshae Brissett was extremely impressive at the NBA Combine. Sounds like he is going to be a draft pick - late 1st to early 2nd
Kevin Pangos gets an NBA contract after 6 years overseas. Shaedon Sharpe got cut from Team Ontario and just committed to Kentucky! The path from where you’re at to your goals isn’t straight, just gotta keep punching!
I’ve heard this is the 🇨🇦 Canadian Junior National Team Roster:
Enoch Kalambay
Zach Edey
Ryan Nembhard
Elijah Fisher
Charles Bediako
Caleb Houstan
Bennedict Mathurin
Kyle Duke
Olivier Maxence Prosper
Khalfani Hill
Javonte Brown-Ferguson
Nana Owusu-Anane
Dominic Parolin
Per the FIBA website, these are the 12 that made the final 🇨🇦 Men’s Senior Team:
Andrew Wiggins

Luguentz Dort
R.J. Barrett
Trae Bell-Haynes

Trey Lyles
Dwight Powell
Cory Joseph
Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Look. When it comes down to it I can’t imagine the Raptors elite staff passing on a guy like Suggs, a winner, elite athlete that makes others better with tons of potential to still tap into. If they get a chance to develop him, I believe he will be a top 5 player in the NBA
Canadians R.J. Barrett and Nickeil Alexander-Walker killed it tonight! It was an incredibly successful summer league for Ignas Brazdeikis, Mfiondu Kabengele and Marial Shayok as well. The Canadian takeover is real! 🇨🇦
Here is your U16 National Team 🇨🇦
Taj Au-Duke
Jacob Theodosiou
Char Yeiy
Mikkel Tyne
Ishan Sharma
Olivier Rioux
Stephen Osei
Baraka Okijie
Efeosa Oliogu
Stefan Vojnic
AJ Osman
JC Brooks
From a Source “Fardaws Aimaq killed at his pro day in Chicago”
Heard he has workouts coming up with Sacramento and multiple other teams highly interested after his big pro day
@FardawsAimaq
Canada...
We have amazing talent but I still believe our players are under recruited. It is time to change that. Welcome to the new era of Canadian Recruiting. I present to you...
13/13
The ones who persist will end up succeeding. You have to put the work in, but trust me it’s an amazing feeling when it eventually pays off.
Signing out from this decade 🎤
6’2 🇨🇦 Freshman PG Kobe Elvis has transferred to Dayton. New hire James Kane (who recruited Ja Morant) recruited Kobe out of High School. Congrats
@KobeElvis
Dave Smart at Pacific is a huge hire for Canadian basketball. Now, hopefully, this opens a door for Canadian university and prep coaches to be seen and have more opportunity in the U.S.
I think this summer’s Canadian U19 team can beat the Americans. Should be one of the best teams we’ve ever put together because we can compete with anyone’s skill, athleticism, and size at every position 🇨🇦
This could start a new wave of USport ➡️ D1 transfers. NCAA schools want proven talent and there is tons of talent, highly touted or not, that develop at the USport level. If you want a chance to be successful it’s not D1 or bust. Go where you’re wanted and prove yourself
2 NBA teams signed up to my service this week. I have the pulse on Canadian basketball at every level. Message me if you want to find out about the best prospects from High School ➡️ Prep ➡️ University
🇨🇦 Freshman transfer PG Baraka Okojie is visiting DePaul and Memphis this weekend. Okojie is 1 of the top available PGs after proving himself as starter material in his 1st season
My starting 5 prediction for the 🇨🇦 Canadian U19 Junior National Team:
PG: Ryan Nembhard (Creighton Commit)
SG: Bennedict Mathurin (Arizona)
SF: Caleb Houstan (Michigan Commit)
PF: Olivier-Maxence Prosper (Marquette)
C: Charles Bediako (Alabama Commit)
Great size + NBA talent
26 Canadian High School players committed to NCAA Division I Schools in 2023 despite the increasing popularity of the transfer market. Stay up on the future of Canadian talent with The Monday Morning Scouting Report! The Canadian talent is rising! 🇨🇦🏀
Jashajaun Downey was unbelievable for Toronto Basketball Academy all Tournament averaging 35 PPG and shooting the damn lights out! NCAA teams and JuCos need to get these guys on their radar!

Guys Canadian basketball is on a serious wave right now. Amazing to just scroll through Twitter and see all the talent at every level. Big year for us in 2020! 🇨🇦
7’4 🇨🇦 C Zach Edey’s rise from High School unknown to Big Ten star has been meteoric. Now, in the midst of an incredibly efficient season at Purdue, it’s time to start discussing Zach as a potential 1st round pick:
Ben Mathurin has shot 50% or higher in 7 straight games as a 2nd year player, averaging 20 PPG in that span on just 11.5 shots per game. Incredible efficiency. He’s balancing his aggression with smart shot selection really well
2024 6’1 PG Sean Blake (Royal Crown / UPlay) has committed to Vermont! 1 of my favourite PGs in recent memory, Sean is a paint touch playmaking demon! Great fit at Vermont 👏🏻
It was cool to see fans lining up to meet players like AJ Lawson last night. The CEBL can really help popularize grassroots basketball in Canada. Kids can look up to these homegrown players and have something to aspire to
Congrats to 2022 Romad Dean on his commitment to Fordham! Romad is probably the best rebounder in Canada and had some of the most vicious dunks I’ve ever seen
Recruit all of Canada with The Monday Morning Scouting Report. I put you on players you’ve never heard of that can make your team better! Work ethic, honest evaluations, and elite intel. I am your eyes and ears in 🇨🇦. Come rock with me 🤙🏻
