GB Under-16 men’s roster revealed

Head coach Troy Culley has confirmed his Great Britain Under-16 Men’s roster for the FIBA European Championships Division B, which start on Friday in Pitesti, Romania.

GB were drawn in Group B and will face Hungary, Ukraine, Estonia and Norway.

Ahead of their opening game against Estonia on Friday, Culley said: “With the foundation we’ve built, and lessons learned from last year, we’re ready to push beyond what we were previously capable of and see how far we can go.

“I cannot emphasise enough the role that Myerscough College has played in our lead-up to the Championships. A trio of domestic camps perfectly complemented our performances at the Dussman Trophy in Luxembourg and the international series against Hungary.

“These performances were more than just warm-up games, but invaluable learning experiences against national team competition.”

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.
