Prunty names final 12 players to compete at EuroBasket 2017

24th August 2017

Joe Prunty has named his final 12 who will represent Great Britain at EuroBasket with a mix of youth and experience joining the final GB roster ahead of the tournament later this month.

Scotland’s Kieron Achara and Gareth Murray have both received call-ups to the final squad and will fly the flag for Scotland at the tournament in Istanbul.

Performances in preparation games have been encouraging despite a 1-5 record, particularly in defeats to Israel and particularly an 84-88 loss to Greece in front of nearly 5,000 in London.
