GB ON RIGHT PATH: HESSON

By on November 29, 2020

Great Britain star Myles Hesson insists the absence of head coach Nate Reinking isn’t disrupting their plans to beat Montenegro.

After a 79-56 reverse to France on Friday, anything less than a win by eight points in Pau tonight (5pm) would massively dent GB’s hopes of reaching the 2022 EuroBasket finals.

But even though Reinking is missing his fourth game in a row as his role at the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers takes precedence, Hesson has faith in the side.

“Whether Nate is here or not , the guys are here putting in the effort into everything, from the medical staff to the coaching staff to the players, so I don’t think there is any problem there,” he said.

“We’re still developing and we’re still on the right path and hopefully we can still keep moving forward.”

Young guard Kareem Queeley, who plays for Spanish side Burgos, will earn his first cap, replacing Newcastle Eagles’ Rex Pflueger on the 12-man roster as GB bid to avenge their 81-74 loss in Podgorica from earlier in the campaign.

The game will be screened via livebasketball.tv

Earlier, the French can all but guarantee their spot in the finals if they defeat Germany in Pau (2pm).

Victory for the hosts, plus defeat for GB, would automatically secure a spot at EuroBasket 2022 for Montenegro.

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.
