Three debutants named in GB Senior Men final 12

Three debutants will suit up for Great Britain Senior Men on Friday as Head Coach Marc Steutel has named his final 12-man squad.

19-year old Quinn Ellis, big man Aaron Menzies and London Lions’ Josh Sharma all make the squad, with Amin Adamu – another new face – being the final cut from the 13-men in training camp, as they prepare to take on Serbia on Friday and Latvia on Monday.

Veteran core Gabe Olaseni, Luke Nelson, Ben Mockford and Carl Wheatle are all in, along with Devon van Oostrum and Jamell Anderson who have both made a recent resurgence with the program, plus relatively new faces Jordan Williams, Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye and Patrick Whelan.

GB currently stand at 1-5 in the qualifiers, preparing to face Serbia at 19:30 on Friday in Newcastle and Latvia at 17:30 Monday in Latvia (watch live on Courtside 1891 – use code HOOPS-WC for 15% discount on annual and World Cup bundle passes).
