Hank Alvey Earns Spot on USA Basketball’s 2026 3×3 Nations League Roster

The Lehigh forward/center will join Team USA for the upcoming tournament in Ñuñoa, Chile, bringing a strong collegiate résumé to the international stage.

Hank Alvey, a junior forward/center from Lehigh University, has been named to USA Basketball’s roster for the 2026 FIBA 3×3 Nations League, a premier global development platform for under‑23 players.

The tournament will unfold in Ñuñoa, Chile, from June 27 through July 3, featuring a series of three‑game contests that test the nation’s rising talent against some of the world’s best young squads.

Alvey’s journey to the national team began with a stint at the USA Basketball 3×3 development camp in Arizona earlier this April, where he trained alongside many of the country’s top prospects.

During the 2025‑26 collegiate season he posted averages of 15.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steal per game, earning recognition on the second team All‑Patriot League and the Patriot League All‑Tournament Team.

A Promising Prospect

His statistical line also included 23 double‑digit scoring games, 13 outings with 20 or more points, and four double‑double performances, highlighted by a career‑high 23 points and 15 rebounds in Lehigh’s NCAA Tournament loss to Prairie View A&M.

Looking Forward

Alvey’s selection underscores the growing pipeline of talent emerging from Lehigh’s program and reflects the broader ambition of USA Basketball to cultivate the next generation of international competitors. As the team prepares for the Chile tournament, his experience and versatility are expected to contribute significantly to the squad’s depth and competitiveness.
