Hey,

Running around like a mad man with the summer in full swing, so let's get this in early!

This week's 3-pointer:

🎪 Event szn!

We're gearing up for Summer Jam with Foot Locker this weekend, a knockout 5 on 5 tournament with bragging rights on the line for both U18s and Seniors across Saturday and Sunday - do come on down for some summer time hoop vibes if you in London - Clapham Common from 11am-6pm both days! Meanwhile, things heating up for the Hoopsfix Pro-Am set to return weekend after next, as the rosters and teams looking strong - more info next week on that - games every Sunday at Brixton Rec from 10:30am.

🇬🇧 GB Women struggle in Prague

GB women suffered two heavy losses against Czech Republic to open their EuroBasket prep, as they are set to play two more warm-up games against France in Lyon before heading to the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. On the men's side, Marc Steutel has finally been given the official Head Coach role, with Dan Clark named General Manager; no surprises on either having both been essentially in those positions previously just on a more temporary basis.

🇮🇹 Quinn Ellis, Ines Goryanova to attend adidas Eurocamp

Quinn Ellis has received an invite to the prestigious adidas Eurocamp, the only officially sanctioned NBA pre-draft camp outside of the US, while Ines Goryanova will debut at the inaugural girls camp - which will be directed by the London Lions' Vanja Cernevic. I used to attend Eurocamp for a few years - was one of my highlights of the summer so will be gutted to miss Quinn competing in it this weekend, and Ines next week!

That wraps up another drop, as always, hit reply with any thoughts, questions or anything else!

With gratitude,

Sam
