The official top 50 list for the 2019 DENG Top 50 camp UK edition has been released, ahead of the four day camp taking place from 21-24 August at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

Additional to those returners, a number of other national team players are included from the Great Britain Under-18s following their summer retaining Division A status, including David Chive, Veron Eze, Cameron Hildreth, Josh Uduje, Amari Williams, Ethan Price and Sam Grant.
Luol Deng’s camp is returning for its sixth year since the reform into a top 50 ranking format, focusing on the highest level of Under-19 players to hail from the UK, putting them through, drills, combine testing and open play. The 2019 edition will also feature an Under-16 All-Star game for the first time, replacing last year’s Alumni Game.
The four-day camp will culminate in an All-Star game, where the Top 20 players on the camp battle for the final bragging rights of the summer, on Saturday 24th August at 3:00pm and 4:30pm respectively (free entry).

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.
