Final hour of the week for The FAN Morning Show has Ben Ennis & Brent Gunning looking towards the future. They start with the Paris 2024 games, previewing the Canadian men’s basketball team’s final group game today. They head to France to check in with a couple of people on scene covering and watching them play. B&B start with Nabil Karim, reporter for NBA TV and the NBA on TNT, who is currently for CBC on their Olympic coverage (2:28). The trio discuss how good Canada has looked; who has really stepped up and impressed as well as what the ultimate ceiling is for this squad. After that, they check in with Raptors’ broadcaster & Canada Basketball board of directors member, Paul Jones, who has also been taking in the Games live (14:30). They go over the scenarios that face Canada in the next round and what best case is for them in trying to bring home a medal. The trio also look at the carry over effect a strong performance in the Olympics can have on a player heading into their next NBA season (looking specifically at the Raptors’ RJ Barrett). To close out the week, B&B turn their attention back to Jays. This time their focus is the return and assets they got at the deadline; they welcome on Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline for his thought on which players acquired have the biggest upside and ability to be Major League contributors (29:00). They look at how improved the Blue Jays farm system is post-deadline.

The duo also takes some time to discuss Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; if he’s replaced Giannis Antetokounmpo as Masai Ujiri's ultimate dream to bring to Toronto.
