HEAD COACH
Coach Rob Paternostro has turned Leicester into one of the most consistent teams in the league, having never finished lower than fourth during his tenure at the helm. A former player in the BBL with Birmingham Bullets and Leicester Riders, Paternostro is one of a select few men to have won the BBL Coach of the Year on more than one occasion.
LAST TIME OUT
Bristol Flyers picked up a resounding 95-82 win against the Riders to advance to the BBL Trophy Quarter-Final.
Gentrey Thomas led all scorers with 30 points, whilst Fred Thomas poured in 27 of his own, with Raphell Thomas-Edwards finishing with a near double-double of 16 points and nine rebounds.
ONE TO WATCH
#8 Jamell Anderson - Anderson re-joined the Riders ahead of the 2019/20 season. The Nottingham native has impressed over the past few seasons, with representation of both Great Britain and England gaining valuable experience on the international stage.
Anderson first joined the Riders in 2011 when he attracted the attention of Coach Paternostro and played for both the Riders and Loughborough University. During his time at Loughborough, Anderson captained the team to an unbeaten promotion campaign in 2011.
