Deane Williams Puts Turkish Defender On a Poster!

By Bradley Gains on July 7, 2015

Check out Deane Williams soaring to the rim to put a Turkish defender on a poster during GB Under-20’s opening game defeat at the European Championships, in Italy.

The Bristol Flyers forward provided a spark off the bench for GB especially in the latter stages to finish with an impressive 13 points and 8 rebounds in the 59-57 overtime loss.

Williams was part of the England U18 squad last summer and finished the tournament averaging 5.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

One game in, and Williams already looks capable of making an impression at the next level and GB will be hoping for more of the same throughout the tournament as they look to bounce back from their opening heartbreak.

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.
