Gonzaga has three of the best bigs in the country and, for that matter, their homelands as well. Polish native Przemek Karnowski and Lithuania's Domantas Sabonis played for their respective national teams over the summer -- and into the early fall, in Sabonis' case. Meanwhile, Kyle Wiltjer, who holds dual U.S.-Canadian citizenship, played for Canada in the Pan Am Games.

Here's a look back at their busy summers.
