Following the conclusion of their camp in Nottingham, Head Coach Karl Brown has selected his twelve players to go to Germany for the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Tournament.
After the trimming of the squad to sixteen earlier in the week, Sedale Hanson-Young, Myles Laurent-Smart, Patrick Whelan and Kaiyan White all were unfortunate not to make the cut for Germany, but could still be in the squad with no official announcement as yet from England Basketball.
Jules Dang Akodo will run the point, whilst Calvin Nevill-Kintu (1997 born) made the squad ahead of his older counterparts. Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye, Aidan Gastaldi-Davies, Josh Steel and Pharroh Gordon will provide support on the perimeter, Akwasi Yeboah, Tom Elliott-Smith, Theo Oghide, Deane Williams likely playing the four, and 7’1″ Aaron Menzies and 6’9″ Kingsley Nwagboso at the 5.

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.
