Bennett's Double-Double Leads Canada Over Venezuela

Minnesota fans saw how well Anthony Bennett played in the Pan America Games earlier this summer. The question was whether or not it would translate to the 2015-16 season. Well, we don’t know that yet, but we do know that it has translated to the 2015 FIBA Americas in Mexico.

On Thursday, Bennett’s Canada squad beat Venezuela, 82-62, moving to 2-1 in preliminary play.

Bennett was a big reason for that win, finishing with a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double. He also dished out four assists. He remained efficient, shooting 5-of-7 from the field.

His numbers in the first three preliminary game have been impressive.
