For those that weren't already aware, Matthew Bryan-Amaning won a title in Japan this year, admittedly it was in the 4th tier of professional basketball there, however the league system had recently undergone a merger and a restructuring, so the quality within leagues is mixed somewhat. Anyhow, his team Fukoaka went 46-6 on the season and have been promoted to B-League 2, winning the league title in the process. More pertinent for MBA is the MVP award, that has been awarded to him following a stellar first season in Japan. rizing-fukuoka.com/news/detail/1596rizing-fukuoka.com/news/detail/1591Well done to MBA, and long may his successes continue. Hopefully we will be seeing him suit for Great Britain in the near future! |

Is it only me but he never seems to perform in a GB shirt.
He plays around the world, albeit probably a lower level than his talents, and has rave review but just doesn't do it for GB.
Eric Boateng is the same to a lesser extent.

Eric Boateng is the same to a lesser extent. I think he has prioritised his career ahead of performing for GB, he has signed for secondary teams in the summer, similar to how Anderson is doing a summer season down under. Since the few games he played for the Lions, he has played in the top flight of Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina and the Dominican Republic; all bar the last being of high quality. I think there were certain instances where Eric was on a summer league team for the NBA? This may well be the same for MBA but I'm not sure. |

He played alongside Dan Clark for the Brooklyn Nets summer league team 2/3 summers ago and it's widely expected that if the season following his graduation hadn't been during the NBA lockout he would've played in the NBA
