How is it possible for Canadian players to play US college basketball?

Answer 1

You have to convert form Canadian to American, then apply to a US College, and hopefully make it, then you have to try out for Basketball and work hard to get a scholorship. If a Canadian basketball player is really good, he might get noticed although it isn't easy. The level of competition isn't as good in Canada, so even a great player might be met with some skepticism. It's not unheard of though. Rick Fox was talented enough to play for Dean Smith. Jamaal Magliore shined for Rick Pitino's Kentucky championship teams. Reigning NBA MVP Steve Nash didn't seem to get much attention from big-time schools (he played college ball for the Santa Clara squad the upset Arizona in the 1993 NCAA tournament), but he's getting the last laugh now. The same way it is possible for Canadians to attend US Universites...with an educational visa. :)
