Dwight Powell to play for Canadian national team

Dwight Powell was the best part of the deal that brought Rajon Rondo to Dallas, and with a summer to work on his game could end up being a solid rotation player next season for the Mavericks.

Getting some more game action will help his development, and Powell will receive just that playing with the Canadian National Team.

Carlisle says Dwight Powell will play for the Canadian National Team this summer & there’s an opportunity for an increased role next season.

The Canadian team is riddled with young, NBA talent, particularly at the front court positions.
