Great Britain’s final 12-player roster has been confirmed ahead of the start of FIBA EuroBasket 2022 on Thursday.

Nate Reinking’s side play their first game in Milan, Italy as part of Group C against Ukraine on Friday as they go with a slightly changed group that took on Latvia in the World Cup qualifiers.

Dan Clark could become GB Senior Men’s most-capped player during the tournament, while Myles Hesson, Gabe Olaseni and Ben Mockford are expected to reach the milestone of 50 appearances.

Hesson missed out on the tournament in 2017, as did Ovie Soko, who makes a debut at the tournament alongside Carl Wheatle, Jamell Anderson, Patrick Whelan and Kavell Bigby-Williams.

Devon Van Oostrum previously played in the 2011 and 2013 editions and joins Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye in the backcourt for GB as Teddy Okereafor misses out.

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.
