Aaron Cel, AJ Slaughter et Dominik Olejniczak avec la Pologne

A rising nation of basketball, Poland are ambitious for the next EuroBasket 2022. They will play the competition not far from home, first in Prague, Czech Republic, for the group stage, then in Berlin, Germany, in case of final stages. In the group of coach Igor Miličić, we find the Franco-Polish Aaron Cel but also several players from the French championship: the leader of Tours (NM1) Jakub Schenk, the pivot of Gravelines-Dunkerque (Betclic ÉLITE) Dominik Olejniczak, or even the back Michał Michalak, who finished the past exercise at the Metropolitans 92 (Betclic ÉLITE).
