LAS VEGAS — Canada finalized its men's basketball roster for the Paris Olympics on Wednesday, with eight of the 12 players selected having been part of the run to a bronze medal at last summer's World Cup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Dillon Brooks, Kelly Olynyk, Lugentz Dort, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, RJ Barrett, Dwight Powell and Melvin Ejim are the eight Olympians who were on the World Cup roster a year ago when Canada won a wild bronze-medal game over the U.S. 127-118 in overtime. The four players on the Olympic team that weren't part of the World Cup: Jamal Murray, Khem Birch, Trey Lyles and Andrew Nembhard.
