Team Canada clinched first place in their group and a berth in the semifinals of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament with a 109-79 rout of China on Wednesday night.
Canadian national hero RJ Barrett finished with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. He struggled to finish inside, shooting just 2-7 from inside the arc. He finished 7-8 from inside against Greece, but the Chinese team had a superior collection of tall fellows to challenge RJ at the rim. He was also weak at the free-throw line, shooting just 3-6. C’mon, RJ: You had that free throw problem under control during the NBA season.
