Will young Wolves’ international success translate to the NBA?

As we move through this current lull in the off-season, many players are subject to less-competitive basketball, like the Drew League or something along those lines.

Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett have been the catalysts on a dominant Team Canada in the Pan-American games in July, and now have led Canada to a 4-0 record in the FIBA Americas warm-up tournament in Puerto Rico. Wolves’ big man Gorgui Dieng has led Team Senegal to the semi-finals in the AfroBasket tournament that concludes this Sunday.
