In the previous group match of the Men's Basketball Team America's Group B, Canada defeated Venezuela 88-54, achieving a good start in the Copa America, while Venezuela suffered a blow.

Although Canada won a big victory in this game, the team's substitute backcourt player Nate Darling was still not ideal. Darling played 18 minutes and 37 seconds in the game, made 1 of 4 shots and 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and had 2 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of +17. Darling did not show his scoring ability on the offensive end, his offensive efficiency was not ideal, and he did not play his characteristics in outside shooting, nor did he play his ability in passing and organizing. Not only that, Darling's performance on the defensive end is also very mediocre, and his defensive contribution is also very limited. Overall, Darling's role in both offense and defense is relatively average, and the team's victory doesn't seem to have much to do with him. With his ability and experience, he should have performed at a higher level in the game against opponents of this level.

Darling, Canada, was born in August 1998. She is 26 years old, 196cm tall and weighs 91kg. She was the undraft in the 2020 NBA Draft. Darling played for the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA. He played 7 times in the NBA, averaging 3.7 minutes per game, averaging 1.3 points, 0.1 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 0.1 blocks, 0.1 turnovers and 0.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 28.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 28.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 100%. Darling's performance in the NBA is not ideal. He has not received a stable playing time, and he has not shown any outstanding talents in his fragmented playing time.

Darling has played for the San Diego Clippers, an NBA Development League team of the Los Angeles Clippers (formerly known as Aguacalian Clippers and Ontario Clippers). In the NBA Development League last season, Darling made a total of 15 appearances, averaging 25.8 minutes, averaging 12.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had 1.9 turnovers and 1.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 39.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 32%, and free throw shooting percentage was 59.1%. Darling's performance in the NBA Development League in the previous seasons was quite good, but in the past two seasons, he has suffered consecutive injuries, which has also led to his poor form. His performance last season is also very worrying. According to previous news, Ligue 1 team Chalon-Sur-Saone has signed Darling, who was previously in free agent form, and he will also switch to the European arena in his rookie season. I don't know what kind of performance he will perform in the new season.
