BUDAPEST (Hungary) - While the preparation results have not impressed ahead of FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2019, Hungary will be hoping that they can shift up the gears after announcing their final roster.
The addition of EuroLeague Women playmaker Yvonne Turner, who has been playing in the WNBA of late, will be a big boost for head coach Norbert Szekely.
Hungary roster for FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2019 | |||
Debora Dubei | Bernadett Hatar | Dora Horti | Bernadett Horvath |
Virag Kiss | Reka Lelik | Petra Pusztai | Krisztina Raksanyi |
Agnes Studer | Yvonne Turner | Zsofia Varga | Dorina Zele |
He will also be pleased with the excellent form of another Final Four performer in Sopron center Bernadett Hatar, who has turned up the dial in the absence of Cyesha Goree and Tijana Krivacevic.
Hungary might be tempted to play 'small-ball' as they have plenty of dynamic guards in addition to Turner, in the form of the exciting Agnes Studer - plus their ever reliable backcourt leader, Kris Raksanyi. Fans will also be thrilled to see rising star Reka Lelik get given the nod, since she is one of the best long-term prospects Hungary have.
Hungary will face Italy, Slovenia and Turkey in Group C.
