Canada has 19 active players in this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament
TORONTO — They’re record-breakers. They’re big-game players. They’re award winners. And they come from coast to coast.
“R.J., what scouts love about him is his compete level. He’s got a great motor. If it’s a big game, if there’s a big matchup, you know if it’s important and you’ve got to step up, he’s one of those guys that does,” said Rautins, former coach of Canada’s men’s team. “I’ve heard that from everyone who talks about him.”
Moments after the tournament teams were announced on Selection Sunday, Nembhard posted a photo on Instagram of himself being doused by a dozen water bottles in the post-game locker room. Underneath he wrote: “Let’s go dancing!” “I’d call him a star,” Rautins said. “He was a big player with Gonzaga this year, but he’s still kind of under the radar. But this kid can jump out of the gym, he blocks shots, he changes games with his ability, so he’s one of the more underrated players that I don’t think enough people are talking about in this tournament.”
