Really interesting matchup between Canada and France tomorrow, as there teams really contrast each other.
  
France has great bigs, questionable guard play, and has to go big with Wemby+Gobert.
Canada's strength is it guards (especially defensively).  They have no bigs, and tends to want to play small.

Problem for Canada is its bigs which is a rotation of Dwight Powell, Kelly Olynyk, Trey Lyles and Khem Birch,    At times they have played none on the floor.

Arguably no team has the level of defensive ability from its guards as Canada does ( SGA, Dort, Brooks) and they have managed to disrupt players of all sizes.    Brooks, and Dort at times,  did a good job of guarding / disrupting Wemby in their exhibition matchup, but I'm concerned Wemby is going to figure it out and go off huge,

Jamal Murray who has been a scoring guard off the bench, has struggled -- he probably needs to go off.

Canada has  got a tough schedule to date (Spain, Greece, Australia, and now France), but it also got very lucky to avoid the US Side of the bracket.
