Krzyzewski, Williams watching Canadian ‘invasion’ of NCAA with interest Globe_Sports
Count Mike Krzyzewski and Buzz Williams among those watching the rise of Canada’s basketball talent with great interest. Both coaches will have an impact Canadian on the floor when Duke and Virginia Tech meet in a regional semi-final on Friday at the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
Said Williams: “They’re everywhere now. Canada has just become another place that’s populated with really good players that everybody in the country is recruiting.” Alexander-Walker, the first cousin of Los Angeles Clippers rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, has also impressed with his college squad, averaging 16.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists a game this season.
“He was willing to step in to a situation that was building instead of maybe going somewhere where it had already been built. And I think that allure was really important for his experience.”
