Ho hum, Canada Basketball didn’t mess around against China. Greece managed to keep things close against RJ Barrett and his teammates on Tuesday night, but Canada bounced back with an easy 109-79 win over China.
RJ Barrett was part of a balanced scoring attack that featured seven different players in double figures and every player but one scoring. Leading the way was Andrew Wiggins with 20, but Barrett wasn’t far behind with 16 of his own.
Although Barrett struggled to finish his shots at the rim, he put forth a solid all-around performance. The recently-turned 21-year-old dished out five assists on dump-offs inside and by making the extra pass on the perimeter.
