Notable players

• Steve Nash – Los Angeles Lakers
• Samuel Dalembert – Milwaukee Bucks
• Todd MacCulloch - Retired NBA player
• Rick Fox - Retired NBA player
• Bill Wennington - Retired NBA player
• Leo Rautins - Retired NBA player
• Bob Houbregs - Retired NBA player, Basketball Hall of Fame inductee

Critics blame the absence of Nash, Dalembert, Jamaal Magloire and Matt Bonner for team Canada's disappointing performance at the 2010 FIBA World Championship. Ambitions to gather Canada's most outstanding basketball players for the 2010 squad failed as Nash retired from the national team in 2007, Bonner did not get his citizenship in time, Dalembert was cut from the team after issues with Coach Rautins and Magloire simply opted not to play.

Notable prospects

Canada's national team has been rejuvenated lately and plans to be a major contender over the next couple of years. Several Canadians have been ranked 4 or 5 star recruits or have been called into the senior mens national team camp in August, 2012, including:
