Australia vs. Canada: Key Players
Australia's roster is filled with players who have experience playing in the WNBA. Out of the 12 players, 11 have competed in the WNBA at some point in time. Ezi Magbegor and Alanna Smith are probably the two most important players for Australia.
The duo of Magbegor and Smith played well against Nigeria. The Minnesota Lynx's Smith top-scored for Australia with 15 points and also grabbed seven rebounds. The Seattle Storm's duo of Magbegor (9) and Sami Whitcomb (13) combined for 22 points.
On the contrary, Canada's Olympic roster has seven players with WNBA experience. Four of them are currently part of the league.
Canada only had two players who managed to score in double-digits against France. The team combined to shoot 32.1% from the field, including 27.8% from the 3-point range.
Kia Nurse and Shay Colley scored 11 points each. The duo combined to shoot 8 of 20 from the field. Against Australia, the rest of the Canadian players would have to step up and provide offensive support to Nurse and Colley. Young Aaliyah Edwards is more than capable of making an impact with her all-round performance.
