It is going to be a busy summer for Purdue’s Zach Edey. Over the weekend it was reported that he had made Canada’s Senior National Team that is attempting to qualify for the Olympics in Tokyo. That at least was partially true, as he made the roster as one of two alternates to the 12 that will dress for qualifications beginning tomorrow in Victoria, BC. It will be a short stay, however, as he is headed to Latvia by the the weekend to join the U-19 National team for the FIBA World Cup.
