BUDAPEST (EuroBasket Women 2015) - Any Hungary fans worried that Allie Quigley might not be on board for EuroBasket Women 2015 having not played during preparation can now breathe a sigh of relief.
The naturalised guard has belatedly arrived into the co-hosts' camp as head coach Stefan Svitek also revealed his final roster for the Group D participants.
Quigley will be expected to show her shooting touch from long-range and will be supported in the backcourt by Katalin Honti of Beretta Famila Schio and Zsofia Fegyverneky, who has won her battle to gain fitness and form after only recently becoming a mother.
Anna Vajda will nail down affairs in the paint and has certainly caught the eye in the warm-up games, with the additional EuroLeague Women expertise of Tijana Krivacevic likely to be vital - as will the strength of center Dora Horti.
One of the most interesting picks by Svitek will see a debut for Dorina Zele. The small forward is yet to play for any of the leading Hungarian clubs or in European competition, but has been rewarded for her standout season at ZTE NKK.
The final player to miss out and perhaps something of a surprise was Anna Lakloth of Uni Gyor.
Hungary will play Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden and Lithuania in Sopron.
Hungary final roster for EuroBasket Women 2015: Timea Czank, Zsofia Fegyverneky, Bernadett Hatar, Katalin Honti, Dora Horti, Tijana Krivacevic, Alexandria Quigley, Krisztina Raksanyi, Zsofia Simon, Anna Vajda, Dorina Zele, Orsolya Zsovar.
