Growing International Basketball with Masai Ujiri and the Giants of Africa

Canada's World Cup campaign is officially over, so Donnovan brings on his friend Joseph Casciaro from The Score to parse his feelings (4:36). How do you evaluate a performance in which Canada didn't win a single game? How much can you blame John Herdman's tactics for the three results? Later on, Donnovan catches up with Raptors President Masai Ujiri on the continuing evolution and development of the Giants of Africa program, what the ripple effect is overseas, and how important it is to growing the game of basketball on an international scale (33:19). They also discuss the Raptors' own players of African birth, including the team's star Pascal Siakam, and his mentorship of others including Precious Achiuwa and Christian Koloko.
