GB U20s Final Roster Set, Last Cuts Made

By Sam Neter on June 27, 2011

The GB U20s faced the last cuts yesterday as four more players were released from the squad to leave the final roster of 12 that will be heading to the Division B European Championships in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Big men Harrison Gamble, Shore Adenekan and Jeff Dirkin, and guard Jack Thompson were the last players to face the axe, leaving a roster of 12 with a nice blend of talent on both the perimeter and inside.

Head coach, Tim Lewis commented:

“The games at the weekend provided us with not only opportunities to look at players, but it also enabled us to gauge where we are against our master plan. Solid performances from all the players involved produced two good wins.

“The final selection took place following the two games and four players have now been released from the program.

“The final roster gives good balance and depth across the board, with Alex Marcotuillio joining the squad in time for the games against Belgium and Denmark next week.”

The roster is as follows:

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
