I don’t know what July or August looks like with Team USA, but this is part of those vows we had and that’s why we’re really doing this.” “Just to be in this moment and going to Puerto Rico, playing AmeriCup, it’s not Paris yet but this is part of that journey,” said Cannady, who is playing in the G League and has made 13 NBA appearances with Orlando. Samuelson is very much in the women’s 3×3 mix for next summer, and Cannady has hopes as well for the men’s 3×3 game. No players have been officially picked for any of those teams.
