Charli Wroe

Year born: 2004
Class: 2022
Hometown: Manchester
Position: Point guard
Current club: Manchester Mystics

Describe your game/style of play:

CW: I’m a left-handed scoring PG who is explosive to the basket. I’m a creative scorer and can easily create 5v4 offence with skill and speed.

If you were to have a highlight play in-game, what would it be?

CW: It would probably be beating the defender on the press, an in-and-out cross with the pick-and-roll then with a mid-range jumpshot.

Favourite basketball moment/memory?

CW: It would be winning bronze with England U15s at the Copenhagen International Tournament.

Who is your role-model within basketball?

CW: My brother Jaxon, as growing up I’ve always watched him play and he’s inspired me. I’ve always been picking things up from him throughout the years.

2021-22 season goals:

CW: I want to experience playing in the playoffs with Mystics and to be the lead point guard doing so.

Predict a player to have a breakout season/one to watch:

CW: It has to be Olivia Forster. My old teammate is killing it after moving down to Ipswich earlier this year.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
