Canadian basketball big man Dwight Powell vividly remembers the times he shared a hotel room with Kelly Olynyk on national team trips over a decade ago. “We didn’t have all the funding like some of the other national teams so our groups bonded back in those days and Kelly and I spent a lot of time together on the road in different countries,” said Powell. The two longtime Canadian national team members are considered the veteran voices for Canada heading into their first Olympic Games in 24 years.
