The summer of Andrew Nembhard continues.
After winning a national championship with Montverde Academy and then partaking in multiple high school All-Star showcase events the U-18 FIBA Americas event was supposed to be the final summer basketball played by Nembhard before he headed to Gainesville. That was, of course, until his dominant play at that U-18 tournament earned him an invite to the Canada’s senior men’s national team tryout.
Just a tryout, mind you.
With Canada sporting a handful of NBA talent and Nembhard originally a class of 2019 player that could have been on his way to his senior year of high school next season it wasn’t a slam dunk he would make the team alongside an NBA champion like Cory Joseph or one of the league’s most skilled big men in Kelly Olynyk.
