Carl Wheatle (’98) Dominating at Haris Memorial Tournament 2014!

By Sam Neter on June 1, 2015

Take a look back at one of the elite players of the 1998 born generation, Carl Wheatle, dominating at Haris Memorial Tournament for the England U18s over the Christmas break 2014.

The 6’4″ guard/forward impressed with his all around game across the three days, being named to the All Tournament Team, with his tournament high of 28 points against St Andrew’s in the semi-final loss that went to overtime.

Wheatle, who signed a four year deal with Italian side Angelico Biella in 2013, has just helped the U19 squad to the second third place national finish in the club’s history – which was the reason he was unable to suit up in the Hoopsfix All Star Classic U17 game.

Playing seven games in seven days, his squad won four and lost three, knocking out the home team in the quarter finals as Wheatle averaged 7 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists through the post-season.

The former London Greenhouse Pioneer will be returning to England this summer to represent the U18 national team.

Do you like our work?

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.
