Big Name Free Agents and Their Landing Spots

[johnmc]

As usual a lot of squads feel like they're coming together last minute and Eurobasket is probably putting the brakes on a few announcements.

But there are a fair few very good GB qualified players still without clubs.

By my count:

Dan Clark
Teddy Okereafor
Justin Robinson
Kofi Josephs
Ashley Hamilton
Matthew Bryan-Amaning

And then possibly:

Carl Wheatle
Gabe Olaseni
Devon van Oostrum

Though you'd reckon the first two would only have been in London's reach anyway.

Given the way rosters are currently stacked it feels like a fair assumption that some of these are going to Eagles, and some to Giants - especially with Jordan Whelan not coming back to Manchester.

Anyone care to make any educated guesses?

Also Jordan Williams

I'd love Jordan Williams at Eagles, but assume it would be a big chunk of budget for someone who'd arrive injured.

Gabe and Carl Wheatle are back with the same teams as last year

Kofi is going giants. Or a local league team based in belle vue.

I’d put money on at least one becoming an Eagle, with the obvious Mockford/Steutel connections….

Thanks

Can be hard to follow this stuff, and the EuroBasket squad list showed them as last season's clubs.

I'd have thought Clark pre-Vince for sure. But there's a gaping hole at centre in MCR. Let's be honest, Robertin is not your starter!

From London Lions Twitter.

The Lions have signed Point Guard Devon van Oostrum to their roster. van Oostrum is currently a member of the GB National Team competing in EuroBasket alongside Ovie Soko and Luke Nelson.
London Lions Point Guard Tarik Phillip underwent successful knee surgery and will be side-lined indefinitely.

Jordan Williams signs in Hungary, saw Ashley Hamilton saying he’s at home in London with no deal yet, still no news on Clark or Teddy, or Kofi either come to think of it

Ashley a possible Rowell Graham replacement?
