TURNER PRIZE

Team Jazz member and emerging basketball star Harry Turner has made history as part of the England team which reached 3rd place in the U16 European Championships in Portugal this August. Beating Slovenia 78–63 in a tense play-off to seal the bronze, the tournament finish is the best result ever recorded by an England basketball team.

The youngsters bounced back after the disappointment of missing out on a final place to Denmark with some impressive 3 point shooting helping them to establish a victory. Rounding off an impressive tournament Harry came on in the second period to help England’s breakaway, putting 6 points on the board.

Despite being a year younger than his team mates, the 15 year old was selected for the 12 man squad after an impressive season for both his school and the BBL team MK Lions. The next step for Harry is progressing to the U18 squad where the games are monitored by US college scouts. His ambition is to win a basketball scholarship and ultimately follow in the footsteps of fellow Brits Luol Deng and Pops Mensah-Bonsu with an NBA career.
