Jamal Murray, Kyle Wiltjer, and Team Canada play today in the Pan American Games at 6:00pm eastern in Toronto vs. the Dominican Republic.
UK had a release yesterday about Murray’s addition to the Canadian roster and here is an excerpt:
TORONTO – Incoming Kentucky freshman Jamal Murray was named to the Canadian roster for the 2015 Pan American Games, becoming one of only three collegians to make the roster. Murray is the only one of the three to not have played in a collegiate contest yet.
The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canada Basketball comprised the 12 athletes who will represent Team Canada at the TORONTO 2015 Pan American Games from July 21-25.
The 12-man roster is encompassed of national team veterans and up-and-coming talent. All 12 athletes have competed for Canada internationally either on the senior, development or an age-group national team.
Murray, a 6-foot-5 guard, was originally a member of the 2016 recruiting class but recently reclassified to the 2015 class. As a member of the 2016 class, Murray was rated a top-15 prospect by nearly every recruiting service and tabbed a consensus five-star recruit.
The Dominican Republic also has some Kentucky flavor as Morehead State sophomore Miguel Dicent is on the roster.
