Participants confirmed for 3-Point Shootout at #HASC23

By Bradley Gains on May 27, 2023

The participants for the 3-Point Shootout at the 2023 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic have now been confirmed as six players compete for the title, on Sunday.

Anna Nevison, Liv Forster and Fats Janneh are the representatives from the Under-19 Women’s game, while Nedas Cholevinskas, Louie Tucker and William Issekya take part from the Under-19 Men’s game.

Each player will have a minute to score as many points as possible with five balls in five racks including a ‘money’ ball which is worth double. The top three players after the first round will advance to the final for another round of action in the same format.

Nevison was a finalist in the 2022 edition having produced an opening score of 15 and is set to make a third appearance in the event. Forster also competed last year, while Janneh makes a debut appearance in the contest.

Cholevinskas, Tucker and Issekya are also debutants in the shootout as they come off the back of solid shooting seasons in the EABL and CBL, respectively.

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.
