Canadians Myck Kabongo, Kyle Wiltjer and Khem Birch will participate in the 10th annual event, at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte on Apr. 16.

Kabongo, from Toronto, ranks second among guards in ESPNU's top 100 players and ninth overall.

Wiltjer, who's from Oregon but played for Canada because of his father's Canadian roots, is ranked 15th.

The Montreal-bred Birch is currently the top prospect out of the New England area and is ranked as the top center prospect and 11th overall.

"On behalf of Canada Basketball first I'd like to congratulate Kyle, Mike and Khem for this historic achievement," said Rowan Barrett, Director of Youth Player Development for Canada Basketball, in a statement.  "For the first time in the event's 10-year history, three Canadians will be participating in the Jordan Brand Classic.  It shows that our nation continues to make its mark with our young up-and-coming talent on the world stage."

The three also comprise the largest Canadian class to ever suit up for the upcoming McDonald's All American Game, which is now in its 34th season.

"It is a clear indication that the future of Canadian basketball is in good hands," George Raveling, Nike's Director of International Basketball, said in a statement.  "In the coming years we will continue to see more development from young players in Canada."

In an interview with RealGM, Alexander "Sasha" Volkov confirmed that Ukraine is in negotiations to hire Mike Fratello as the coach of their national team.

Fratello coached Volkov with the Atlanta Hawks and most recently was head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies.

"I can tell you that we are negotiating with Mike Fratello to be the new head coach of Ukrainian national team and it could happen any day," said Volkov.
