Squad update
Great Britain coach Chris Finch has named his training camp roster for the 6-7 of August at the K2 Centre (Crawley).
The 13-man squad comprises of:
Robert Archibald
Andy Betts
Eric Boateng
Flinder Boyd
Luol Deng
Chris Haslam
Roger Huggins
Julius Joseph
Mike Lenzly
Richard Midgley
Nate Reinking
Chris Sanders
Andrew Sullivan
With less that three weeks until their first Eurobasket game against Slovakia at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham, Finch is looking to build upon the success of the first training camp in the sunshine state.
Paisley-born Archibald is currently nursing a sore ankle while Boyd's attendance is still being held up by his Spanish club, Rosalia.
After their brief spell in the UK the squad will fly to Pau to play two test games against Georgia, where they will also be joined by Luol Deng, who will in the meantime be attending the NBA's Basketball Without Borders elsewhere in France. The team are then destined to play New Zealand and Finland as well as the hosts, in Croatia.
The Team has also been bolstered by the news that BPB has arranged for some of this summer's EuroBasket crunch ties to be shown on SKY Sports. Matches that will be featured are:
* GB v Slovakia on August 21 in Birmingham - Broadcast date August 22nd at 19.00hrs-21.00hrs.
* Promotional match to be played on either September 11th or September 15th in Sheffield - broadcast date September 17th at 19.00hrs-21.00hrs.
