Canadians set to make major playoff impact

As the most-represented country outside of the United States, Canada had 17 players on NBA rosters for opening night of the 2020-21 season. Now, five Canadians will take the floor during the 2021 NBA Playoffs. These players aren't simply on rosters either, as each stands to play a major role that can alter the course of a series. While 20-year-old RJ Barrett makes his playoff debut, the 2021 postseason marks the return to the playoffs for Dwight Powell and Tristan Thompson, who will each be relied on for their interior presence by their respective teams. Factor in Canadians like Andrew Wiggins and Dillon Brooks who are trying to earn their way in through the Play-In Tournament and you have plenty to keep an eye on as the playoffs get underway.
