SAN ANTONIO (NBA) - The San Antonio Spurs have a very good track record when it comes to identifying talented players from abroad.

There have been France's Tony Parker, Argentina's Manu Ginobili and Brazil's Tiago Splitter, all members of the current squad.

San Antonio also drafted Luis Scola when he was still a player in Europe but never managed to get the Argentinian in a Spurs uniform because of his contract with Baskonia in Spain.

The Spurs ultimately sent his rights to Houston in a trade, and the Rockets were able to bring Scola to the NBA.

The latest non-U.S. player to cause a stir with the Spurs comes from north of the border.

He is young Canadian point guard Cory Joseph.
