Our cousins from the north will venture into the sweltering Vegas heat and try not to melt as the teams face off at the T-Mobile Arena. While Team USA are the favorites going into the tournament, Team Canada have the talent to return from Paris with gold.
In addition to Nembhard, Indy locals can root for Arsenal Tech alum Trey Lyles, who is also playing for team Canada. There's really no shortage of cross pollination between the two teams. From youth circuits to college to the NBA, these guys all know each other extremely well.
