As expected @CanBball men’s roster for @FIBAWC training camp has everyone accounted for: 18 strong, 10 NBA players. Only missing name from ‘summer core’ is Khem Birch who has injury issues. Otherwise? Olynyk, Powell, Murray, SGA, RJ, Brooks, NAW, Dort etc. Elite group. – 8:11 PM

We will get word on @CanBball men’s training cap roster for @FIBAWC tonight on @Sportsnet broadcast of GLOBLJAM. (u23 women vs. USA starts 5:30; men vs. USA @ 8 pm). Expectation is ‘summer core’ of 14 will be intact – so SGA, Murray, Barrett, NAW, Brooks etc. – 10:39 AM

SGA, Giddey and JDub are just gonna be able to close their eyes and lob the ball anywhere near the rim and Chet will dunk it. – 9:31 PM

Jackson Gatlin: Asked Dillon Brooks how Memphis prepared him for this role in Houston: “I feel like it’s exactly the same team from 3-4 years ago. Jalen is like Ja Morant. Jabari is like Jaren. Young guys that can expand their games to be the best in the league.” -via Twitter / July 11, 2023
Do you agree with the notion VanVleet will be able to get you more efficient shots? Your 3-point percentage slipped last season, but how does playing with someone like VanVleet aid your effectiveness and efficiency? Dillon Brooks: Yeah, for sure. He finds ways to get guys open shots and I just gotta start knocking them down, that’s all. I can’t wait to play with Fred. He’s a crafty guard, loves to find his teammates, but ultimately can find a way to score, too. I can’t wait to play him and our games mix well. -via The Athletic / July 9, 2023
This is a Rockets team with a ton of young talent but really struggled defensively over these last two, three seasons. Now, you’ve entered the picture fresh off a season where you earned All-Defense honors. What do you bring to the table? Dillon Brooks: Just a lot of grit. A lot of heart, a lot of knowledge, good defensive game as well. And I’m here to teach, you know what I’m saying? I can’t wait to work with Tari (Eason). I feel like he can be a great player in this NBA — especially a great defender — and grow his game, his athleticism and everything. But I can’t wait to work with him. And yeah, pretty much. And just, you know, that just that veteran savvy. -via The Athletic / July 9, 2023
