After Brazil upset Canada, Canadian coach Jordi Fernandez was not happy with the play of former Duke Blue Devil RJ Barrett, and he didn’t hesitate to say so: “RJ has to run the floor and score efficiently and defend, and he didn’t.”

It wasn’t just Barrett - he spoke about some other guys too: “It’s not about pointing any of these guys. They’ve been amazing. They’ve worked really hard. They’ve competed at a high level. We’ve had one bad game right now. We own it. We watch it. We learn from it. And we’re gonna come out really, really aggressive and ready to fight the next game.
