Nembhard finished the game with 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and led Canada in efficiency with 19. Gilgeous-Alexander had previously named him as the most surprising player on the squad. He stuck to his words after the tough win. “I would say the same thing. I knew he was good, obviously. Didn’t know he was this good,” Shai smiled. “He’s a really talented player, he works hard.

He never forced it. That’s what makes him him,” Gilgeous-Alexander explained.
