Ever since Canadian center Olivier Rioux announced his commitment to Florida there has been discussion about whether he will ever be able to contribute at the high-major level. During his first year in Gainesville his focus was improving his body, and he didn’t get the opportunity to get the kind of live game reps where fans could see where any development had occurred.Luckily, Rioux was named to Canada’s FIBA U19 World Cup roster, playing alongside a lot of talented future high-major players going against elite competition. This was the first opportunity to see Rioux on the court in some time, so it was the first real checkpoint to see where his development is at.
