Nelson Boachie-Yiadom (’99) Impresses With England U16s vs Sweden

By Sam Neter on July 12, 2015

Check out England Under-16 Nelson Boachie-Yiadom (1999 born) impressing with the England U16s in their three game series vs Sweden in Oaklands a couple of weeks back.

Boachie-Yiadom was England’s leading scorer in the three game series, averaging 15.3 points per game, including a series-high 21 in Game 2.

Nelson’s performances were not enough however, as England went 0-3 against Sweden. The Under-16s are preparing for the Division A European Championships in Lithuania this summer, where they have been drawn in Group A against Turkey, Germany and Russia.

The 6’7″ London Westside forward is widely regarded as the best 1999 born prospect in the country, having been invited to the Jordan Brand Classic International Tour in March, along with fellow ’99 Jacob Iwowo.

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.
