Riley Abercrombie named to Super League Basketball British Team of the Year!

Leicester Riders’ Riley Abercrombie has been named to the Super League Basketball British Team of the Year! 

Abercrombie was the Riders’ second-leading scorer on the season with 13.2 points per game and second-highest rebounder with an average of 5.6. The first-year Riders’ rebound average ranked in the top 20 among all players in the league. 

Over the course of his league campaign, Abercrombie scored double-digit points on 27 occasions in 32 games. His season-high 26 points came against Caledonia Gladiators in January, where he grabbed 9 rebounds, went 8-13 from the field and 4-7 from three. 

“It feels great to get an award like this,” said Abercrombie.

“I couldn’t have landed in a better spot for my first year pro. Between the coaches, my teammates and the Leicester community, I’ve been so lucky. I’m proud to receive this award that not only recognises me, but our team and the great year we’ve had.”

Head Coach Rob Paternostro added: “Riley has been consistent for us all the way through the season.”

“He really improved as the season went on, and we can count on him for major minutes. He is a guy that is a pleasure to coach.”
