TORONTO (April 13, 2026) — Canadian prospects Miles Sadler and Paul Osaruyi represented Canada on the global stage last week, suiting up for the World Team at the 2026 Nike Hoop Summit (April 6–11), capping off a dominant stretch that has positioned both athletes among the country’s top emerging talents.

Facing a highly ranked Team USA roster, Sadler delivered one of the most impactful performances of the event, leading all scorers with 29 points while adding seven assists, four rebounds, and two steals in a tightly contested 102–100 overtime game. Osaruyi complemented that effort with 11 points, five rebounds, two steals, and one block in 27 minutes, showcasing his versatility and defensive presence.

Their performances at Nike Hoop Summit marked the latest chapter in what has been a defining run for both players — one built on winning at every level of elite competition.

Just one week prior, Sadler and Osaruyi led CIA Bella Vista to the 2026 Chipotle National Championship, securing a 69–65 victory over Montverde Academy and delivering the program’s first national title. The championship game featured five Canadians on the floor, including Montverde guard Javion Tyndale, highlighting the growing impact of Canadian athletes within the U.S. prep system.

Sadler controlled the final, finishing with 23 points and nine assists to earn Most Valuable Player honours, becoming just the second Canadian to receive the distinction at the event, following RJ Barrett with Monteverde in 2018. Osaruyi added 16 points and nine rebounds, anchoring the frontcourt with a physical two-way performance.

The title capped off a dominant tournament run for Sadler, who had already set the tone earlier in the week with a 26-point, six-assist, four-steal performance in the quarterfinals. Across the event, he consistently dictated pace, created advantages offensively, and applied pressure defensively against top-tier competition.

The championship victory over Montverde, a program that had won three of the previous four national titles, added further weight to the accomplishment, with Sadler leading Bella Vista through a high-level, high-pressure matchup that featured familiar Canadian connections.

Bella Vista’s roster featured four Canadians, Sadler, Osaruyi, Lyris Robinson, and Liam Mitakaro, reflecting a broader trend of Canadian talent shaping outcomes at the highest levels of prep basketball.

Together, their collective success across EYBL Scholastic play and Chipotle Nationals represents one of the most impactful seasons by a Canadian-led group in recent years.

For Sadler, the run marked the culmination of a career defined by consistency, leadership, and performance in key moments. Osaruyi’s emergence alongside him further strengthens Canada’s pipeline, with the Scarborough native continuing to establish himself as a high-level two-way presence capable of impacting the game on both ends of the floor.

From EYBL Scholastic champions, to Chipotle National champions, to representing Canada on the global stage, their trajectory reflects the continued rise of Canadian basketball, and yet another generation preparing to lead it forward.
