Canada ends pool play undefeated at 3-0 and Oregon Ducks' Dillon Brooks was a major reason why thanks to his continuous effort on the defensive end and spot-up shooting out on the perimeter.
Canada knocked Spain out of contention of advancing to the knockout rounds with a 88-85 victory in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, France. Oregon's Brooks was showing off his continuous effort on the defensive end, but what has really been impressive with his play in Paris is the consistency to knock down spot-up shots on the perimeter. He has hands and feet ready to catch-and-fire at all times.
