Great Britain confirm 12-man Roster for FIBA EuroBasket 2022

1st September 2022

Ahead of an eagerly anticipated FIBA EuroBasket 2022 that will see some of the world’s best basketball talent compete for supremacy, Great Britain Men’s Head Coach Nate Reinking has confirmed the 12-man roster selected to represent the team at the showpiece tournament.

GB’s Men have travelled to Milan for the Pool Stages of EuroBasket 2022 – set to take place from September 2 to September 8 – where they will face Croatia, Estonia, Greece, Italy and Ukraine for a place in the knockout stages, which will be contested in Berlin.

This will be the Men’s team’s first major tournament outing since the 2017 EuroBasket, and the 12-man roster contains several GB stars who have experienced the biggest stages in basketball, as well as a number of top British talents sampling the major international tournament for the first time.

This EuroBasket is being hailed as the best continental basketball tournament ever, with a field of teams full of incredible talent, and as such is a testament to GB’s achievement in securing a place at the top table of European basketball.

Speaking ahead of the competition and following the announcement of the final roster, Head Coach Nate Reinking said:

“This is a proud moment for the National Team to be embarking on its fifth EuroBasket competition out of the last six iterations. The team has been on a long journey to get to this point and have shown themselves to be capable of competing with the very best teams on the continent and this EuroBasket provides another opportunity for British Basketball.

“It shouldn’t be lost on people just how much of an achievement this is for our players and staff to be heading to Milan for the competition, but we’re not just going there to compete – we want to win, and make some history for Great Britain.”

Great Britain’s journey to FIBA EuroBasket 2022 qualification began all the way back in November 2018 at the FIBA EuroBasket Pre-Qualifiers, before a historic 11-3 run over the course of three years – including marquee wins over European powerhouses France, Germany and Montenegro – secured qualification to FIBA EuroBasket 2022.

Dan Clark’s selection sees him become the only player to have been selected for all five of Great Britain’s FIBA EuroBasket appearances (2009, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2022). Devon van Oostrum will be making his third FIBA EuroBasket appearance (2011, 2013, 2022), whereas Ben Mockford, Luke Nelson, Gabe Olaseni and Myles Hesson will all be entering their second EuroBaskets with GB.

Clark is also on course to become the Men’s team’s all-time record cap holder as he will break Eric Boateng’s long-standing record of 116 appearances for the team against Greece on September 5th. Hesson, Mockford, Olaseni and van Oostrum are all also in the running to notch their own half-centuries of caps, joining only 10 other players in the Men’s team’s history to have surpassed that mark.

Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye makes his return to the 12-man roster for the first time since July, in place of Mo Soluade and Teddy Okereafor.
