How did Wiggins play for CAN?

Really good. China and Greece are among the better opponents in the qualifiers. 23/6/2 against Greece. 20/4/2 against China. Top scorer in both games. 56/46/100 shooting.

Cool thanks. I am very much in the KP for Wiggins camp if that deal is on the table in any form.

It's not sexy, but you kind of have to be, at this point. He's a quick, long, athletic wing who doesn't miss a lot of time. That's pretty much what every team is trying to stockpile these days, no? Wiggins is like the best version of Paul George that's realistically attainable right now, I think.

Give me this ALL day.
I would take Wiggins 100 times out of 100 over Oubre.

Think about that. Wiggins has been a league-wide butt of jokes for years... and the Mavs are supposedly interested in the guy whom all of us agree is a worse player. Please tell me they aren't so catastrophically dumb, and that that report was agent-driven.
I will be interested to see if Josh Green gets any run for the Australian team. Even without Simmons, they could have a pretty good squad.
I noticed Saddiq Bey didn't make the Australian team. Win for the Mavs!
Green should get some run as he is probably the second best wing defender after Thybulle.
It will be interesting to see what he does on offensive end.

I didn't know Thybulle was on the team or had Australian roots. I read a quote from the coach who was talking about Giddey and Green. He seemed more familiar with Giddey's game. That makes sense as he played in Austraila and I am not sure Green has played for his country before. It looks like the team is practicing in California from what I see from Green's instagram.
They are practicing in the US ahead of warmup game in Vegas.
The Australia coach is from the local NBL so coached against Giddey this year.
I am sure Green will show his talents in practice and the warm up games.
Did Chris Anstey make the Aussie squad?

"and exciting up and comer Josh Green (20)"
Well, if national team play there is the fertile recruiting ground that it is with Team USA, Josh can be talking to Baynes and Mills about taking under market contracts to play with Luka. Meanwhile, Powell is issuing nightly scouting reports on Wiggins, NAW and Dort.
