Andrew Wiggins is clearly the best player on Team Canada and has been leading his country's national team to international victories all over the map. But Monday night didn't show one of his better performances.
Wiggins had just nine points on 2-for-10 shooting, complemented with four turnovers, during Canada's 80-64 victory over Brazil. His teammate both on the Canadian team and in the NBA, Anthony Bennett, actually outplayed him.
Bennett, who also starts, posted 16 points on just seven shots, making both of his three-point attempts.
