Every time a Canada Basketball standout faces the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena, the team takes a moment to celebrate them. There will be two of those tonight with Oklahoma City in town, and one may even garner some MVP chants.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of Hamilton, Ontario and Lu Dort of Montreal, Quebec are both standout players for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Dort, an undrafted wing out of Arizona State, is known as one of the best defenders in the NBA. In his fifth season, the 6’3” wing plays much higher than his listed height and has helped the Thunder to the fifth best defence in the league at this point in the season.
