It is also yet to be confirmed whether Wiltjer will play for the USA or the World Select team at the event, but conventional wisdom would point to the 6-9 senior forward playing for the international squad as he has played for Team Canada in previous events including [URL=”http://videos.oregonlive.com/oregonlive/2010/08/nike_global_challenge_kyle_wil.html”]the Nike Global Challenge[/URL].
