It was Valentines Day 2026 and the Dragons Rhondorf were in Bernau. They had taken on the journey of one of the farthest road trips of the season sitting on a 5 game losing streak. No miracle occurred in Bernau as the Dragons Rhondorf stunk up the building losing 103-81. Rhondorf had shot a pathetic 25% from downtown and coughed up the ball 23 times. It had been the 6th time in the season where they had allowed an access of 100 points. I can´t imagine what the long bus ride home was like. The thoughts of the players and head coach Max Becker must have been going crazy and all over the place. I´m sure every player on that team could of used some special love. It was definitely a long way home until finding that love. “We were just trying to figure it out. Nobody wants to lose. We knew something had to change. After that loss, everyone had a different mentality going into practice. Everyone was really frustrated. It was a real wakening moment to see the sense of urgency”, stated Juhwan Harris-Dyson (198-SG-1999, college: California, agency: Origins Sports Group). The playoffs at that moment seemed as far away as the 2026 NBA final is for the Indiana Pacers. However 46 days later the Dragons Rhondorf are standing tall as they finished the regular season in 8th place and have a first round playoff date with first place team Orange Academy of the Pro B South. “It has been a crazy month. We were looking at regelation a month ago. We didn´t want to move down and wanted to finish the season as best as we could. We really played our last 5 regular season games like it was our championship. It was very exciting reaching the playoffs. Last season I was in a similar situation and just missed the playoffs”, stressed Juhwan Harris-Dyson.

So let´s rewind back 46 days ago to Valentines Day. The club arrived home after the tough loss in Bernau and had to prepare for the next game which would be at home against Itzehoe. How did the next days look like in Bad Honnef? Was there some serious soul searching going on? “We had a team meeting and talked about basketball and non basketball things. We had a lot more comradery. Our young guys really understood the sense of urgency. We understood as a team that we had to win games not only scoring, but also taking care of the little things”, said Juhwan Harris-Dyson. The team was in the dumps after the brutal loss in Bernau. Was there any hope for a turn around? “I pay attention to the standings and what happens in the league. We knew we had a chance to be successful, but also knew that we needed some things to go in our favor. With every new win each week, the reality got more and more real. I always felt like our team was a lot better than the credit it was becoming”, warned Juhwan Harris-Dyson. After the bad loss in Bernau, the chances of the playoffs were there, but was the focus more on remaining in the Pro B first? “We were all aware of our situation. We were in 13th place, but as a team we never felt like we would move down. We knew that we could win enough games to stay in the league. After we had won enough games to stay in the league, we then focused on the playoffs”, expressed Juhwan Harris-Dyson. After the vital victory against Itzehoe, the club then faced it´s next do or die game against Wedel on the road and didn´t disappoint wining a shoot out 100-87. “The win in Wedel was very big for us. We had a long ride to Wedel and the atmosphere was great there. They were a top 4 team in the Pro B North and had one of the better defenses in the league. That win gave us a big boost and energy to keep winning. The win gave us the ultimate confidence. It was also great to see how the team stuck together and rallied to win after I got hurt”, added Juhwan Harris-Dyson.

After a massive close win again at home against Vechta 2, the Dragons Rhondorf were at it again on the road against the BSW Sixers. Once again the Dragons Rhondorf were able to win another close game 75-74 as Lagui Diallo hit the winning three pointer with 1,22 to play. After that the Dragons buckled together and made big stops. And what was really impressive was how the team stuck together after Juhwan Harris-Dyson was out early. “I saw a lot of heart from the guys. Many guys had to play roles that they may not have been necessarily comfortable in or had during the season, but they stepped up. I have the ultimate respect for the team for the way they came together as a unit to pull out wins. We had 5 final games and focused on each one at a time and did all we possibly could to win them”, explained Juhwan Harris-Dyson. Young player Vuk Scepanovic stepped up big time scoring 14 points and showed how vital the support of the young players has been this season. Did he give him a hug after the win? “No I didn´t give him a hug after the win, but shot him a congratulatory text after the win. I has been a tough season for him. He was injured and then had to play behind Jorge Mejias and myself. He didn´t get the amount of minutes to really show his full potential. He was able to play free. I´m so happy for how he has played. All his hard work has paid off”, said Juhwan Harris-Dyson.

The last game against Rostock was another very tight game. Rostock went on a run to begin the fourth quarter, but the Dragons Rhondorf fought back and won on free throws by Duje Dujmovic. “Our defense was really good in the last game. We made it tough for them to score and didn´t give them any advantages. We rebounded very well and got stops”, remembered Juhwan Harris-Dyson. Sharp shooter German Chris Frazier had a good look at the end, but the basketball God was on the side of the Dragons Rhondorf. “I was praying that he would miss. He is a great shooter and guy. I watched him lite up the three point line in Schwelm. I rotated over and saw him shoot it and was glad that he missed. I´m glad it went our way”, smiled Juhwan Harris-Dyson. After missing the Sixers game, Harris-Dyson was more than pumped in possibly the last game of the season. “The Rostock game was definitely in my top 3 of most important games overseas. I´m a competitor and just couldn´t miss the game. I wasn´t 100% going into the game. I know that if I hadn´t played, I would of really regretted it if we had lost. I´m just happy I was able to play and give something in the win. I saw how much the guys had sacrificed the last weeks and I also had to sacrifice. These are the type of games that players die for. They servs as memories that last a lifetime”, stressed Juhwan Harris-Dyson. One player who has been massive in the last weeks was ex Neustadt forward Duje Dujmovic who has been a force on the glass. “I remember being in Rhondorf a week and a half before the team met in August. Duje was already there. He was already working hard on his game then and has done it consistently this season. It hasn´t been an easy season for him, because we have a lot of scoring options. I believe that he has shown his full game the last weeks. He has shown his versatility the last weeks once having a perfect shooting game from outside and other games getting many rebounds”, stated Juhwan Harris-Dyson.

The California native who has Illinois (NCAA) winning the 2026 NCAA tournament is content that the last three games was the best spurt of the season for them. Especially defensively, they kept teams under 80 points. “They were all close games and big wins that gave us a big boost going into the playoffs. It just feels so good getting 3 hard fought wins in a row. Our defensive protection and rebounding has gotten a lot better. We do still allow too many offensive rebounds and that is something we have to still work on. Our defense is what helped get us into the playoffs. We had up and down shooting games, but it was our defensive consistency that helped us pull out wins”, added Juhwan Harris-Dyson. He has had problems with free throws his whole career overseas, but in the last 3 games has found more fortune shooting 6/8. “I haven´t had the best free throw % in my first 5 seasons overseas. I keep working on it even if my work hasn´t totally translated onto the court. I feel like I have made little improvements. I started the season having a 3/8 game and recently had a 15-20 game or 6/6 game. Working on this problem will continue to be a focus this summer”, added Juhwan Harris-Dyson. The Playoffs been the week after Easter and the Dragons Rhondorf will have no cake walk with #1 team Orange Academy. “I´m very excited for the challenge. We have no expectations going in. This will be a great opportunity for us to spoil Orange Academy´s party. We could be that spoiler. We will play for ourselves to win”, commented Juhwan-Harris-Dyson. The Dragons will face one of Europe´s big talents from Poland with Teo Milicic. “I´m not so familiar with him, but I will get more familiar with him in the next days. It will be a fun match up to see his talent level. I think that it will be a challenge for both of us”, said Juhwan Harris-Dyson. Orange Academy are a very young team with an average age of 18 and it is incredible how disciplined the team is under head coach Florian Flabb. They average 82 points per game and have one of the top defenses in the Pro B allowing only 74 points per game. “We just have to play our style and be gritty on defense and try to speed them up. We also need to be aggressive with our pace and have good shot selection”, stated Juhwan Harris-Dyson. It is the post season and it will be interesting to observe if the Dragons Rhondorf can make an upset. Will one see Juhwan Harris-Dyson at his best? “I always give my best. But to be honest my best is relative. One game, I may have a 24/11 game and the other a 2/13 game. For me if I´m able to contribute to a win, then that is a good game for me. The stats don´t matter. I just want to win”, warned Juhwan Harris-Dyson.

Swiss Army Knife Carlos Carters Chip On His Shoulder Is Always Present As He Leads The Eisbaeren Bremerhaven to 75-59 Victory Over The EPG Baskets Koblenz

The playoff hopes of the EPG Baskets Koblenz dwindled a little bit more with the bitter 95-93 loss against Paderborn last Monday. Now the team had 2 really tough match ups against top 5 teams BG Goettingen and the Eisbaeren Bremerhaven. Koblenz had lost 3 of the last 4 games and had lost the first meeting against Bremerhaven in a 100-91 shoot out. Bremerhaven had their 5 game winning streak recently snapped and arrived in Koblenz with a two games losing streak. Koblenz had to find a way to forget their bitter crunch-time loss to Paderborn and find a way to produce an upset that could still turn their season around in the stretch run for the playoffs. However Koblenz couldn´t compensate the loss of their MVP candidate Calvin Wishart who was thrown out of the game early in the third quarter after sustaining his second technical foul of the game as they lost 75-59 to Bremerhaven. The EPG Baskets Koblenz had a solid defensive effort, but just had a horrible shooting game where they only converted on one three the whole game. “We played good defense, but just couldn´t hit shots. When you only make 1 three, it becomes difficult to win. We had good looks through out the game, but I couldn´t buy a bucket today”, stressed EPG Baskets Koblenz guard Devonte McCall. The Eisbaeren Bremerhavedn didn´t have their best offensive day either shooting only 21% from the parking lot, but they gave a very good defensive effort which was enough to win. “Defense got us the win today. Our focus all week long was on defense. We made sure that our rotations were right and that we were standing in the right position. We got in passing lanes and got steals as well. Our communication was really good and on offense we kept the ball moving and speed helped us open it up for shots. We had a good will to win”, stressed Eisbaeren Bremerhaven American Carlos Carter (197-G/F-1999, college: Shippensburg)

Devonte McCall at the FT line

The EPG Baskets Koblenz were without American Tim Smith Jr and Mr 42 points scorer in Artland Aleksa Kovacevic and quickly fell into a deep hole as Bremerhaven led easily 7-0. The guests got easy lay in´s by Germans ex Skyliner Jordan Samare and ex RheinStars forward Jannis Von Seckendorf and Carlos Carter nailed a trey for good measure. Koblenz couldn´t even match the physicality early, because there was no body contact and were too lax in 1-1 deefnse. But Koblenz slowly found their rhythm better attacking more aggressively and got baskets from ex Hagen guard Devonte McCall and a lay in by ex easyCredit BBL player Alex Moeller who was in the starting lineup. Bremerhaven then got a clutch trey from ex Artland Dragon Adrian Breitlauch and free throws from ex Jena guard Raphael Falkenthal to lead 17-10. However Koblenz continued to chip away at the guests lead and got good energy from Minnesota native Calvin Wishart who came from the bench netting 4 points and the only trey of the game for them from little used David Gaspers as suddenly they were only down 19-18. Koblenz used the bench momentum from Wishart as German Jonas Niedermanner closed out the first quarter with 6 unanswered points as Koblenz led 23-21 after 10 minutes. The Koblenz bench had given a great effort with 14 points. “We couldn´t match their physicality, but we had good ball movement, just had a little problem at times with hitting shots”, said EPG Baskets Koblenz sports director Thomas Klein. The EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 67% from the 2 point area and 20% from outside and had 10 rebounds and 2 turnovers while the Eisbaeren Bremerhaven shot 75% from the 2 point area and had 6 rebounds and 3 turnovers.

Elijah Miller jumper

The second quarter had 2 runs, but at the break the Eisbaeren Bremerhaven had the advantage leading 39-32. Both teams had difficulty in the first 2 minutes finding a rhythm as both teams produced 3 stops. Canadian Elijah Miller then got Bremerhaven it´s first score with a lay in, but Koblenz then punched back with a 5-0 run attacking the rim and getting easy lay in´s by 2018 NBBL champion Badu Buck and Texas native Julian Larry to lead 28-23. Bremerhaven had lost a little concentration and head coach Steven Esterkamp then took a time out. That seemed to work as they found their offensive rhythm again going on a lethal 10-0 run to lead 33-28 sharing the ball with love again. In the run it was the import trio of Miller, Carter and Jake Biss who supplied all the points. Carter and Miller dropped three´s while ex Paderborn guard Jake Biss drove twice to the rim with success. Koblenz once again had a weak phase on the defensive end with lax 1-1 deefnse and not defending the three point line diligently enough. Koblenz stuck with Bremerhaven and got some baskets from ex G-League player DJ Jeffries who hit an off balance shot while ex Oldenburg center Marco Bacak made a pretty old school hook shot to trail 35-32. Bremerhaven closed out the first half strong as Carter and Samare made lay in´s. Koblenz continued to have problems slowing down the guests drive. “We had up and down phases on defense. We weren´t concentrated during their 10-0 run. We had many good looks simply, because their on ball defense wasn´t that aggressive. Our key players simply didn´t hit shots”, stated Thomas Klein. The Eisbaeren Bremerhaven shot 55% from the field and 27% from the three point line and had 22 rebounds and 5 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 55% from the field and 9% from the three point line and had 18 rebounds and 4 turnovers.

Alex Moeller lay in

The turning point of the game came in the third quarter as the EPG Baskets Koblenz were only 3 points behind the Eisbaeren Bremerhaven, but their star player Calvin Wishart was disqualified from the game for his second technical foul which then led to the guests taking control and never looking back. The EPG Baskets Koblenz began the second half finding their rhythm right away playing their game getting 2 transition baskets from Buck and Bacak off a steal and turnover and only trailed 39-36. Koblenz had some momentum, but then came the unexpected as Calvin Wishart was handed his second technical of the game and was bounced from the game. Koblenz has had a history this season of having serious mental lapses when real adversary strikes the team. It wasn´t any different this time as Bremerhaven cruised out on an annoying 11-4 to get the comfortable 50-40 advantage. In the run the Koblenz physicality suddenly was gone as Bremerhaven got easy lay up´s from Miller and Brenneke and Von Seckendorf made a thunderous dunk. The intensity that Koblenz once had was below standard and on offense the three point shooting plague continued. Badu Buck did a good job keeping his team somewhat in the game, but Koblenz couldn´t string along a number of stops. Bremerhaven attempted less three´s as their shot wasn´t falling, but penetrated and got buckets from Miller and Carter to extend their lead to 56-44. Koblenz got a lay in from ex Trier forward Jannis Sonnefeld and free throws from McCall, but they couldn´t get closer. Jake Biss closed out the third quarter with the only three pointer made the whole 10 minutes to lead 58-48. “Wishart is a good player and we had a game plan for him which was being physical on him. It obviously became easier when he was ejected. They had weaker ball handlers and they didn´t close out as strong”, stressed Carlos Carter “Losing Wishart really hurt us. We had less experience having to put in a 17 year old and we had foul trouble. We weren´t good on close outs, communication or help”, stressed Devonte McCall. The Eisbaeren Bremerhaven shot 59% from the 2 point area and 25% from the parking lot and had 32 rebounds and 6 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 58% from the 2 point area and 6% from the parking lot and had 26 rebounds and 6 turnovers.

Carlos Carter at the FT line

The EPG Baskets Koblenz really had their backs to the wall in the fourth quarter and not scoring any points in the first 5 minutes didn´t help their come back attempt either. Both teams could muster no real offense. Bremerhaven only scored 6 points in that span getting a 20 footer from Carlos Carter, a reverse lay up from Adrian Breitlauch and lay in from Lorenz Brenneke where there was very little resistance from the lax Koblenz defense in the paint. Bremerhaven led 66-48 with 5 minutes to go with the EPG Basekts Koblenz lacking confidence and the game was over. Both teams did muster 20 points in the last 5 minutes, but it was mainly stat filling sequences. Jefferies got 2 scores while Bacak also scored with his left hand while Bremerhaven got to the free throw line getting 3 points from Von Seckendorff while young German Lukas Stelmokas got his first Pro A points in his young career. “Koblenz didn´t seem to be in the game as much mentally. It was hard to get a feel in the game with the refs calls. We played together to close out the game well. I played with the flow of the game. I played with confidence. Coach Esterkamp was hard on me during the week of practice. He expects a lot of me. I appreciate a coach like that who pushes me. I always play as if I have to prove something”, warned Carlos Carter “We had no real point guard. We played good defense, but just couldn´t execute on offense”, added Devonte McCall. The Eisbaeren Bremerhaven were led by Carlos Clark with 15 points while Elijah Miller added 13 points while the EPG Baskets Koblenz were led by Badu Buck with 15 points while DJ Jeffries added 10 points. The Eisbaeren Bremerhaven shot 45% from the field and 21% from outside and had 41 rebounds and 7 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 39% from the field and 6% from outside and had 33 rebounds and 8 turnovers.

Desmond Watson Strokes Home 30 Points And Hits Game Winner Propelling The Skyliners Juniors to Revenge Win Over BG Hessing Leitershofen 79-77

The great basketball work that the Skyliners Juniors had done in 2026 had paid off as they had already qualified for the Pro B playoffs before the last game day began. Frankfurt began 2026 as far away from the Pro B playoffs as Isaac Bonga is to ever rejoining easyCredit BBL team Skyliners. Frankfurt had a superb 8-2 record in 2026 and wanted to have momentum going into the playoffs. But they didn’t have an easy foe with BG Leitershoefen who came into the game sitting in 4th place with a record of 13-10. Frankfurt had lost the first game of the season on the road 90-79 and lost the game in the paint where Leitershoefen shot an overwhelming 73%. The Skyliners Frankfurt who had a 8-2 record in 2026 wanted to go into the playoffs with momentum with a win in their living room and did upending BG Hessing Leitershofen 79-77 as explosive import scorer Desmond Watson (196-G-2003, college: Loyola, IL) hit the winning shot and Frankfurt then stuck together and made one last stop to secure the win. It was a tight game for the most part, but in crunch-time, it was the Skyliners Juniors that came up with the big shots and plays to win and will have a playoff date with Essen. ‘We played hard for 40 minutes. We were relentless. Every one played their role and gave their all. Our biggest strength on offense was our offensive rebounding and on defense we never gave up on any possession’, stressed Skyliner Junior Desmond Watson. Leitershofen kept home court for the Pro B playoffs because Orange Academy beat Ludwigsburg who finished the season in fifth place. ‘We gave a lot away in the first half. We allowed too many offensive rebounds and missed too many free throws. We couldn’t set the tone on the defensive end in the first half. We were in the game at the end, but couldn’t execute the way we wanted to’, stressed BG Hessing Leitershofen guard Brian Dawson.

Florian Dietrich at the FT line

The Skyliners Juniors came into the game without top German youngers Jamie Edoka and Ivan Crnjac who were being rested for a do or die NBBL game 3 playoff game against IBAM the next day. Frankfurt began quickly into the game taking the 6-2 lead as ex Kronberg center Florian Dietrich had excessive energy and brute scoring inside twice including a fierce dunk as the guests were unable to match the Skyliners Juniors intensity. However basketball is a game of runs and Leiterhofen showed rapidly how quickly they can explode as they went on a lethal 16-4 run to lead 18-10. Instrumental in the run was ex easyCredit BBL player Brendan Gregori who added an incredible 11 points including two three’s. ‘He is a player that really knows when to drive and when to shoot’, said ex Skyliner Junior Bennet Schubert. Leitershofen upped their defensive intensity forcing Frankfurt to a few turnovers and had great rim protection from Tom Alte and Clint Haman. However Frankfurt still had some energy in the last minutes going on a 6-0 run as young Czech Republic guard Lukas Smazak added 5 points including a trey as Frankfurt trailed 20-17 after 10 minutes. ‘Both teams were very aggressive on the offensive glass and were both very physical. Leitershofen had really good ball movement and looks’, stated Bennet Schubert. BG Hessing Leitershofen shot 41% from the field and 30% from outside and had 11 rebounds and 1 turnover while the Skyliners Juniors shot 37% from the field and 17% from outside and had 12 rebounds and 3 turnovers.

Brian Dawson for 3

In the second quarter BG Hessing Leitershofen had good control of the game, but the Skyliners Juniors fought back and had the contest dead locked at 39-39 at the break. The guests had the needed energy at the start of the second quarter going on a 9-3 run to extend their lead to 29-23. In the run, the guests had great ball movement and got inside scores from ex BBL player Ferenc Gille and ex JUCO player Emmanuel Ansah while German Jannik Westermeir had the prettiest basket in the run knocking down a jumper with a cool side step in Shai Gillgeous Alexander manner. ‘That was a nice shot. Jannik is a tough player and a real dog. He plays at both ends. He didn’t have a great game, but he will bounce back. We will need him for the playoffs’, stated Brian Dawson. But Frankfurt kept fighting and got potent energy from Dietreich and Alvin Onyia as they carried Frankfurt at both ends with big baskets as suddenly Leitershofen led only 31-27. Frankfurt couldn’t quite get over the hump as the guests got key scorers from Texas native Zion Richardson and ex Bernau center Clint Hamann to lead 35-29. However Frankfurt had Desmond Watson who can be a one man wrecking team if he wants to. The overall leader and player with fancy moves and great shooting propelled his team on a nasty 10-4 run scoring all points. The leading rebounder at the break was little talked about Joscha Zentgraf who had 7 rebounds and 5 offensive rebounds. The ultimate team player would finish with 10 rebounds including 8 offensive rebounds as his energy was truly incredible, but also something he always brings. ‘He plays so hard. He leaves it all on the court’, said Desmond Watson. ‘He does the dirty work and is the first guy that will volunteer to do it. He is the type of player that every guy wants as a teammate’, warned Bennet Schubert. The Skyliners Juniors shot 39% from the field and 29% from the three point line and had 24 rebounds and 7 turnovers while BG Hessing Leitershofen shot 47% from the field and 27% from the three point line and had 19 rebounds and 5 turnovers. ‘Frankfurt played better team basketball. They got stops and started to run. Their better defense helped stimulate their offense’, said Bennet Schubert.

Desmond Watson with the floater

In the third quarter it went back and forth as there were 7 lead changes, but no team could truly get away from the other as the Skyliners Juniors led 60-57 after 30 minutes. Both teams would punch back and forth as Frankfurt began well with a lay in by Watson who split the defense the way a Caris Levert would and Mr energizer Dusan Nikolic nailed a trey for the 44-40 Frankfurt lead. But Leitershofen punched back with a lethal Gille dunk and trey by Richardson as the guests led 45-44. But the game of runs continued as Frankfurt embarked on a 9-0 run which was highlighted by a Watson trey and mega two handed dunk by Nikolic on transition that was sparked by a steal by Joscha Zentgraf as Frankfurt now seemed in control 53-45. But the guests knew they could match Frankfurt’s output and did with a 9-0 run to steal the lead back at 54-53. Key in the run was LA native and ex Essen guard Brian Dawson who showed his 3 level scoring with a trey and 20 footer. But Frankfurt had the last laugh in the third quarter with a 7-3 run to lead by 3 points. Watson found German Moses Poelking for the lob and lay in and Smazak had the hot hand again with a trey. ‘We tried to slow the game down with the zone, but also tried to speed it up. We had many good looks. Both teams had a lot at stake and it was a real dog fight’, commented Brian Dawson. ”We continued to play hard and just be relentless’, said Desmond Watson. The Skyliners Juniors shot 37% from the field and 29% from the parking lot and had 32 rebounds and 9 turnovers while BG Hessing Leitershofen shot 44% from the field and 29% from the parking lot and had 34 rebounds and 10 turnovers.

Zion Richardson at the FT line

In the fourth quarter it seemed like BG Hessing Leitershofen might run away with the game, but the Skyliners Juniors never gave up and fought for the lead back. Watson nailed free throws for the 62-57 Frankfurt advantage, but Leitershofen then exploded on a 12-0 run to lead 69-62. In the run it was Gregori again who stepped up after being very quiet in quarters 2 and 3 where he scored only 2 points now added 5 points while Emmanuel Anshah who hails from Canada added 5 points. Leitershofen showed their unselfishness on offense and their defensive intensity disallowed Frankfurt to get into their sets and forced them to many tough shots. Tom Alte also added a lay in in the run. There was still a lot of time left with 7,00 minutes and Frankfurt began to chip away at the guests lead led by Watson who was always in attack mode as he got to the rim and free throw line adding a lay in and free throws while Alvin Onyia grabbed a deep rebound and sprinted coast to coast with a transition bucket and Frankfurt was suddenly only down 70-68. Both teams punched back and forth and despite a clutch Leif Zentgraf three pointer, the Skyliners Juniors still trailed 73-72. Richardson and Onyia then traded free throws, but Leitershofen still led 75-74 with under 2 minutes to play. However then came the turning point of the game as Tom Alte missed 2 free throws airballing the last one. Free throws would haunt the guests all night long as they finished the game 15/27 at 56%. With under a minute to play, Frankfurt then got a big bucket from Moses Poelking who got a pretty behind the back pass under pressure from Leif Zentgraf for the 77-76 Frankfurt lead. ‘When your playing the game, you don’t think on the court. If you think too much then you won’t make that play. Leif was playing in the flow of the game’, expressed Desmond Watson. Frankfurt then stopped Gille and then it was Watson time as he sunk a beautiful trey for the 79-77 lead. ‘I always want the ball and every shot I take feels good’, smiled Desmond Watson. Frankfurt came up big stopping Leitershofen on the last possession. ‘They executed better and had good looks while we didn’t. They switched a lot which affected us. We need to be more decisive at the end. On the last play we got the ball inside. They helped and Alte made a good pass. We got a good look. It just didn’t fall’, added Brian Dawson. ‘They had a decent look at the end. We try as hard as we can to get the stop. You never know what will happen. But we trusted each other to get the stop’, explained Desmond Watson. The Skyliners Juniors were led by Desmond Watson with 30 points while BG Hessing Leitershofen were led by Brendan Gregori with 18 points while Brian Dawson added 15 points. The Skyliners Juniors shot 38% from the field and 31% from outside and had 41 rebounds and 11 turnovers while BG Hessing Leitershofen shot 45% from the field and 29% from outside and had 43 rebounds and 12 turnovers.

Carter Whitt (190-G-2002, college: Belmont) is a 190cm guard from Raleigh, North Carolina playing his rookie season overseas with Pro A team Nurnberg Falcons currently averaging 10,1ppg, 3,5rpg, 4,3apg and 1,3spg. He began his basketball career at Leesville Road High School and then played 2 years at Wake Forest (NCAA) and 50 games. He then played 2 seasons at Furman University (NCAA) playing a total of 59 games and in his last season averaged 7.6ppg, 3.1rpg, 3.5apg, 1.3spg, FGP: 47.5%, 3PT: 29.1%, FT: 82.1%: he then finished his NCAA career at Belmont University (NCAA) averaging 12.8ppg, 4.6rpg, 6.0apg, 1.5spg, FGP: 46.7%, 3PT: 33.7%, FT: 73.6%. He spoke to germanhoops.com about basketball.

Thanks Carter for talking to germanhoops.com. Your playing your rookie season with German Pro A team Nuernberg Falcons BC (Germany-ProA). What kind of an experience has it been for you? What have you enjoyed most about the experience?

It has been a great experience so far, I’ve really enjoyed bonding with teammates and coaches while taking in the city of Nurnberg.

What was your wake up call to being a rookie overseas where you knew that you were far away from home?

I would say the biggest wake up call has been the physicality of the game but overall the transition has been smooth.

Nurnberg has had a roller coaster season so far winning the first 2, then losing 4 and now on a 4 game winning streak. How can you explain the early season play as of now?

I´m happy to have been a part of 4 wins and want to keep it rolling. Just have to keep getting better everyday.

The team has been playing good basketball as of late and won 2 nail bitters. What strides have you seen the team make in the last weeks?

I think we are continuing to learn how to play with each other and just gaining confidence as a unit.

So far your averaging 6/2/2/1 stats. What has been the toughest adjustment for you overseas on the court?

With my first two games being within 72 hours of arrival I think the biggest thing has just been getting my legs under me and getting comfortable with my teammates. Not worrying about stats but focused on the team continuing to win games.

Let´s talk about your game. You’re a 190cm guard. If you had to compare your game to a NBA player who would best fit the description.

I think my best comparison is Andrew Nembhard/ Austin Reaves

You’re a guard that can fill the stat sheet well. What are your biggest strengths on the court?

I think my passing and ability to run a team while being able to touch the paint with ease.

Your three pointer has been up and down the last years. How would you describe the development of your three pointer?

My three pointer is much better now than it ever has been and I’m confident that through my professional career, I will show that I can be an elite shooter from 3.

How would you describe your defensive game now? What kind of a defender are you now and what Kind of defender do you still want to become?

Overall I think I am a solid defender but definitely want to become a great defender. Learning how to use the refs to my advantage and being physical as possible is my next step.

On what areas of your game are you working on most now so you can continue to improve your game?

Decision making is definitely one of my main focuses along with showing that I can knock the three down off the catch or off the dribble.

You began your college career at Wake Forest in 2020 playing 2 seasons and 50 NCAA games. You never averaged more than 4,6ppg in a season. What was your summary of these 2 years? What positives could you gain from it?

I learned how to come off the bench and play a minimal role. I met some great teammates and enjoyed my time at wake.

One of your best games was your 16/6/2 game in a win over USC Upstate. Was that one of your fondest moments on the court at Wake Forest?

I had many fond memories but the biggest were some of the big wins we had, including beating North Carolina by 20 at home.

You then played 2 seasons with Furman University (NCAA) averaging 2.6ppg, 1.6rpg, 2.1apg[Textumbruch]and 7.6ppg, 3.1rpg, 3.5apg, 1.3spg, FGP: 47.5%, 3PT: 29.1%, FT: 82.1%. How did your game grow there under Bob Richey?

I made some life long friends at Furman and really enjoyed my teammates and what we were able to achieve together. I wasn’t really able to show my full game at Furman.

You had some big games against Coastal and VMI. What was your fondest moment on the court at Coastal?

Beating UVA in the NCAA tournament was my fondest memory, I also enjoyed blowing out ETSU at home and playing a major role in that win.

You then finished at Belmont University (NCAA) averaging 12.8ppg, 4.6rpg, 6.0apg, 1.5spg, FGP: 46.7%, 3PT: 33.7%, FT: 73.6%. You had a game winner in the 99-97 win over Illinois State having a 10/8/9 game. What memories do you have of this dramatic win?

That was an awesome game. I remember I gave up a costly three that sent the game to overtime so I knew I had to get it back!

How did head coach Casey Alexander groom and prepare you best for a pro career?

Coach Alexander is an awesome coach and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to develop for my pro career. He let me display my full arsenal, something I hadn’t had the opportunity to do in prior years and I´m super thankful for that. The track record of coach Alexander developing great pro’s is clear, and I think people should really look at his track record when considering Belmont.,

Who won a 1-1 in practice you or Isaiah Walker?

I’ve only had one teammate that could consistently beat me in 1v1 and that was Jake Laravia. I don’t think we ever played 1v1 but I would’ve taken him!

You played against many great players in the NCAA, but who was the toughest battle that is in the NBA now?

I would say Tyrese Maxey back in AAU was the toughest. Scottie Barnes was the best I played in the NCAA.

Please name your best teammates of all-time?

Marcus Foster, Alondes Williams, Jake Laravia, Alex Williams

If you had to construct your very own NBA mount Rushmore which 4 heads would you pi ck?

Lebron, MJ, Tim Duncan, John Wall

Who is your GOAT?

MJ

Did you see the sequel to the classic Coming To America? Shouldn´t they have left it alone?

I have not seen it.

Thanks Carter for the chat.

One Can’t Refrain From Thinking About Steph Curry After ex Davidson Day School Jackson Threadgill Exploded For 53 Points And 12 Three’s in Malta

Jackson Threadgill (198-G-1997, college: App State) is a 198cm forward from North Carolina playing his rookie season overseas with Starlites GIG (Malta-BOV League D1). He began his basketball career at Davidson Day School and then played 4 seasons with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte playing a total of 110 NCAA games. He then added on a season with Appalachian State University. He spoke to germanhoops.com recently after netting an amazing 53 points in a league game in Malta.

Thanks Jackson for talking togermanhoops.com. You recently scored 53 points in a game and was the highest scorer in the world. You did it in Malta. What does this feat mean to you?

I think it’s really just a reflection of my teammates and coaches putting me in a position to be successful.

Did you really score 53 points in 18 minutes? That is crazy? How do you do that?

My teammates did a great job of generating open looks for me and it was just one of those games where I shot at an efficient clip. I started off 9 for 9 from the three point line.

You never averaged more than 6,0ppg in a season in the NCAA. As a rookie now in Malta your averaging 28,0ppg. Has this massive scoring influx surprised you a bit and how do you explain it?

It hasn’t surprised me. I know that I have been capable of doing that but I also understand that you have to play a role. I played with very talented players in college that took on more of that scoring role. Here in Malta the team needs me to take more of that initiative and I knew I would be capable of that.

Did you always know that you had such great scoring potential in your blood?

No, I really just always tried to understand the game and play the right way and I think just over time I became better at that.

Did you have a special breakfast or do something different on this day to help you achieve so many points?

No I didn’t, I try to keep to the same routine. I’m big on trusting the process and the results will take care of themselves.

How did you feel going into the game? Do you sometimes know how your game may go after warm ups and how your shot is feeling?

I felt good going into the game. My body felt really good and my shot felt good in warmups. You can’t predict how the game will go based off that but it definitely helps your confidence going into it.

How did you get into the game flow? How rapidly did you know that you might have a real good scoring day?

I came into the game and made 4 3’s straight early on. I knew it would be a good shooting day at that point but I wasn’t really concerned about the scoring.

The team had 43 assists in the game and you 4. 11 teammates had assists. Could a teammate ask for more unselfishness within a team than that?

I think that just is a reflection of how unselfish we are as a team and why we have had the success that we have had.

Did you know in the fourth quarter that you were close to 50 points?

I actually didn’t play in the 4th quarter but I wasn’t paying attention to the points.

One can´t forget that you hit 12 three´s, one loss than Steph Curry´s most. Not many guys have hit 10 or more three´s as a pro player. Your from Davidson, North Carolina where Steph Curry went to school. What does that mean to you?

I’m actually from Concord NC but I did go to high school school in Davidson North Carolina at Davidson Day School. Obviously Steph Curry being from the area is someone you embrace just because of what he’s been able to accomplish. But hitting that many 3’s and breaking the record in the Malta league was definitely special.

What was your favorite own basket of the 53 point game?

Honestly don’t have one.

Did you get any special messages from people that you might not have expected from?

No special text messages.

Did you have to get your teammates donuts after game?

No I did not, I just got water poured on me.

Thanks Jackson for the chat

Josh Harris (196-F, college: Illinois Coll.) is a 196cm guard that was briefly overseas in Germany for his rookie season with the TuS59 Hamm Stars and team Nikola Tesla in Hamburg. He played at Illinois College (NCAA3) form 2021-2025 playing a total of 98 games. In his freshman season he averaged 5.0ppg, 1.6rpg, 1.1apg, FGP: 48.5%, 3PT: 29.6%, FT: 61.1%.

He spoke to germanhoops.com last summer about basketball.

Thanks Josh for talking to germanhoops.com. How blessed do you feel to be playing overseas? Not many former NCAA 3 players get a chance to become professional?

I am extremely blessed with all glory to God. And yes I know there aren´t many people from division 3 but there have been some and I always thought I was next.

Your playing your rookie season with TuS 59 HammStars (Germany-Regionalliga). What did you know in general about the country Germany and it´s basketball?

If you want to be honest before looking it up I knew not a lot but watching some youtube videos I found out that Germany along with some other countries is a good starting point to begin your career

Did you ever have former teammates or opponents ball in overseas?

Yes I have a bunch of former opponents and teammates that currently play overseas to name a few Troy Burrows is in China, Keenon Cole is in the Czech republic, and Duane Goodman is heading to Malta.

What were the main reasons for you joining TuS 59 HammStars (Germany-Regionalliga). What really stood out for you most about this organization?

I love how professional they are with things. When I talked to coach they had dreams on being champions and I like to compete for championships when I play.

How did the talks go with head coach Ivan Rosic? What did you appreciate instantly about his basketball philosophy?

I love my talks with coach Rosic. He let me know right away their expectations are to win a championship and let me know clearly what my role would be on the team when I got here. Love how he talked about offense will come, we want to be the best defensive team in the league.

You had a great college career. In the German Regionalliga it is the imports that usually have to carry the team. Do you feel any pressure?

I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel any pressure but I trust the work I put in to get to this point and the work I’m going to continue to put in throughout the season.

Let´s talk about your game. You’re a 196cm guard. If you had to compare your game to a NBA player who would best fit the description?

I would say I play a lot like Austin Reaves a combo guard who can play on or off ball

Coach Ivan Rosic defines you as a great leader. How developed did you leadership skills get at Illinois College where you won 2 MWC titles?

I would say my last two years in school, I was considered one of the leaders so if I wanted to or not I had to be the one to push my teammates to be the best they can be every day.

You’re a guy that fills the stat sheet well. How much of a versatile player would you describe yourself?

I would consider myself very versatile I can move off the ball and play that way but I am also a bigger point guard who can control the offense and create for others

Is it fair to say that your 3 pointer is still a work in progress? What is your biggest goal this season with your outside shooting?

I would say just being confident in my shot. If you check I shot almost 40% from 3 my junior year of college and senior year I just lost a little bit of confidence in it but I know I can shoot the ball at a high level.

How would you describe your defensive game? Is it fair to say that your still a raw defender? What kind of a defender would you call yourself now and what kind of defender do you still want to become?

I would say my defense is a very underrated part of my game. I would say yes I would love to improve to be better but I am not a liability on that end of the floor. If you check high school and college my teams are some of the best defenses in the state or nation and I am a part of that. I would say I can hold my own on that end but I want to get to a point where you don’t even want the ball around me.

On what areas of your game are you working on most now so that you can continue to improve as a player?

I would say my strength the game here is a lot more physical and I want to get stronger to last over here. I want to get more athletic and also want to improve my shooting.

You played at Illinois College (NCAA3) from 2021-2025 playing 98 games. You improved your scoring average each season. How did your game grow in your 4 years? What kind of a player were you in 2021 and what kind now?

I would say the game slowed down for me throughout my 4 years and understanding how to play within the system picking my spots. I would say I was strictly a slasher in 2021 trying to beat people with my speed and that’s it. Now I am scorer that knows when to shoot or drive and get to my spots.

You won 2 MWC titles. Which one was sweeter?

I would say the first one was sweeter from my sophomore year because it was the first time in school history so that was a special moment.

You had so many great games at Illinois College including a 30 point explosion against Wisconsin-Lutheran. What was your best game in school?

I would say my 36 point game against Knox I just feel like I showed all parts of my game in that game and we won with a clutch shot made by me.

How did head coach Steve Schweer groom and prepare you best for a pro career?

I would say just prepared me as a man to be out on my own in the real world.

Who won a 1-1 in practice you or Jake Mazrimas?

Aye he won’t tell you but I won

Who was the toughest player that you ever faced in the NCAA that reached the NBA?

No one in the NCAA reached that I played against but in high school I played against Max Christie

Ben Vanderwal, Jake Mazrimas, Buzz Ritzel, Will Rogers, Jemari Moore

Jonathan Klussmann Hits Winning Free Throws Before Paying For Ticket To Watch Wishart’s Last Miss As Paderborn Upend The EPG Baskets Koblenz 95-93

With 7 games remaining in the Pro A regular season and the EPG Baskets Koblenz 2 wins away from the last playoff spot, it was a serious do or die situation for them as they faced Paderborn who had a poor 9-18 record needed a win for their fight to stay in the Pro A. The EPG Baskets Koblenz had been up and down the last weeks not being able to follow up a massive win against Wolmirstedt and Crailsheim with second wins. Paderborn came to Koblenz having lost 6 of their last 7 games. Paderborn was a must win for Koblenz as the next games following were against top 5 teams Eisbaeren Bremerhaven and BG Goettingen. The EPG Baskets Koblenz had to stick together as one of their most consistent players and leader Tim Smith Jr and guard scorer Aleksa Kovacevic were both out. Plus Koblenz also wanted to seek revenge after their loss in Paderborn earlier in the season. However the EPG Baskets couldn´t seek revenge and had to accept a tough 95-93 loss at the end as Danish national player Jonathan Klussmanm made a clutch lay in and free throws to seal the victory on the road. “The first half was really good for us, but the second half not as good. We let them come back. We made good decisions at the end and just kept attacking and executed well”, stressed Paderborn Basket guard Jonathan Klussmann (190-G-2002). The EPG Baskets showed their fight qualities especially in the second half and could have won the game at the end with a Wishart game winner, but the basketball God just wasn´t on their side this time as in Crailsheim some weeks earlier. “We had a slow start. I feel like we were nervous. We knew that a lot was at stake in this game. We fought well and at the end it could have gone either way. We defended really well in the second half”, stressed EPG Baskets Koblenz forward Jannis Sonnefeld.

Calvin Wishart at the FT line

893 fans arrived in the CGM arena on a mild Monday night to witness a horrible start by the EPG Baskets who quickly fell deep in the hole trailing 10-0 after a few minutes. Paderborn attacked the rim 4 times and got easy baskets by Klussmann twice, once by Tennessee native Grant Teichmann and from German youth national player Leonard Kroeger. Koblenz had zero energy and was exhibiting horrible 1-1 defense. However Koblenz finally found their groove after a time out at the 7, 20 minute mark and proved again that basketball will always be a game of runs as they punched back with a 12-4 run to trail only 14-12. Koblenz finally found their aggressiveness attacking the rim better as Minnesota native Calvin Wishart made free throws, Sonnefeld made a lay in as did ex Bonn center Alex Moeller and DJ Jeffries scored twice with his bread and butter mid distance shot. “Jeffries was so important in that come back. He did a great job. I like when he is aggressive. When he is aggressive, we automatically play better warned EPG Basket Koblenz guard Aleksa Kovacevic. Koblenz upped their defensive pressure and aggressiveness forcing a few turnovers as Paderborn couldn´t get into the zone as easily anymore. Paderborn got some vital support from ex UC Irvine (NCAA) guard Eyassu Worku who added 4 points. Jeffries remained consistent and hot nailing a trey to dead lock the game at 18-18, but Klussmann continued to find his spots making a shot to give Paderborn the 20-18 lead after 10 minutes. “We had a slow start. I saw some nervousness in us. But once we found our flow, we got into the game well. We upped our defense and communicated better and got stops”, said Aleksa Kovacevic. The Paderborn Baskets shot 45% from the 2 point range and 33% from outside and had 9 rebounds and 5 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 50% from the 2 point range and 25% from outside and had 5 rebounds and 3 turnovers.

Eyassu Worku from outside

In the second quarter the EPG Baskets Koblenz had highs and lows as they trailed by as many as 11 points and then cut the lead down to 4 points, but at half-time were down by 9 points. Like in the first quarter, the EPG Baskets had a horrible start allowing a 14-4 run to trail 34-22. In the run the guests got their offense going well and got great support from the bench from ex Rhondorf guard Matej Silic who added 7 points showing his 3 level scorer qualities with a trey, reverse lay up and mid distance jumper. He was really focused to play against his ex coach Stephan Dohrn as he didn´t play much for him a few seasons ago in Rhondorf. American Ohio native Branden Maughmer also gave good support adding 6 points as he was finding his spots well. The Koblenz defense had lost aggressiveness again and were giving up easy baskets in the paint. But Koblenz never gave up and began to chip away at the Paderborn lead and retaliated with a lethal 13-5 run to trail 39-35. Koblenz got great support from ex Oldenburg center Marko Bacak who scored 3 times in the paint, ex Munster guard Julian Larry added 4 points and 2018 NBBL champion Badu Buck stroked home a trey. But that was as close as Koblenz got as Paderborn always had an answer as Koblenz was unable to string along consecutive stops. Paderborn got good support from the bench from ex Skyliner Aaron Kayser with 4 points while Kevin Osawe hit a trey to lead 46-38. Alex Moeller added free throws to trail 46-40, but Paderborn kept feeding Klussmann the ball as he added 4 points and was perfect at the break at 4/4 from the field and 6/6 from the free throws line as Paderborn led 51-42 at the break. “We couldn´t get consecutive stops. We had one good defensive possession and then 2 bad defensive possessions. We turned over the ball too much and couldn´t get out on transition at all. We allowed too many easy baskets off the pick and roll”, stated Aleksa KJovacevic. The Paderborn Baskets shot 52” from the 2 point area and 63% from the three point line and had 14 rebounds and 7 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 58% from the 2 point area and 22% from the three point line and had 13 rebounds and 6 turnovers.

Marko Bacak from outside

In the third quarter the Paderborn Baskets continued to control the game in the first 5 minutes, and lead by as much as 13 points, but the EPG Baskets Koblenz then staged a comeback and trailed only by 4 points after 30 minutes. Klussmann continued his hot shooting from the first half and nailed 2 more off balance shots that were tough to be 6/6 from the field up to that point and give Paderborn the 57-45 advantage. Little mistakes kept Koblenz from getting over the hump as Calvin Wishart was issued a technical foul while Paderborn´s bench gave good support from American Jalen Johnson who scored twice keeping Koblenz at bay leading 64-56. But Koblenz continued to fight and were led by Calvin Wishart who only had 4 points at the break, but 5 assists as he allowed his playmaking to shine, now stepped up as the scorer and took command and led his team on a 11-5 run to suddenly only trail 69-65. In the run he was supper aggressive finding his spots better and adding 4 points on free throws and a step back jumper. Ex Hagen guard Devonte McCall also added a lay in and Sonnefeld free throws. Koblenz was able to add a few stops after another and rebounded better. Wishart would add another trey, but Paderborn had the 73-69 advantage after 3 quarters as Jalen Johnson continued to get easy scores inside. “We knew what was at stake. We were more focused and didn´t want to lose at home”, added Jannis Sonnefeld. “We had some bad turnovers and also some misfortune. It happens in the game. They also hit more shots and had dome momentum going into the last quarter”, added Jonathan Klussmann. The Paderborn Baskets shot 56% from the 2 point area and 50% from the parking lot and had 21 rebounds and 11 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 56% from the 2 point area and 36% from the parking lot and had 16 rebounds and 8 turnovers.

Jalen Johnson at the FT line

In the fourth quarter the EPG Baskets Koblenz supplied even more pressure and it was only a question of time when they would achieve their first lead of the game. Osawe would vanish for minutes and then make a big shot as he nailed a trey and Paderborn led 76-69. But then occurred the turning point of the game as the EPG Baskets exploded for 16 unanswered points in a row to get the commanding 85-76 lead. Wishart led the charge with 9 points while Larry added a pretty reverse lay up and Buck 5 points including a beautiful three pointer of the side step. “I wouldn´t compare that shot to a Shai Gillgeous-Alexander shot. I practice that shot very much and I have confidence taking it. I´m worlds apart from Shai´s game”, commented Badu Buck. “Our defense fell apart. They got easy baskets against our defense and off turnovers”, stated Jonathan Klussmann. Koblenz forced 4 turnovers in a row and demonstrated that they be a force on the defensive end when the aggressiveness and mentality is there. “I think that run was the best defense we played this season. We were all ready to play”, expressed Jannis Sonnefeld. Even if it took a few minutes, Paderborn had an answer and fiercely punched back with an annoying 6-0 run with back to back three´s by Maughmer and Worku as suddenly Koblenz led only 85-82. One could see that Koblenz was starting to fatigue as the absences of Smith Jr and Kovacevic hurt them. Paderborn would be benefited with some more stops, Koblenz turnovers and a Buck unsportsmanship foul which all led to 4 points form Maughmer as Paderborn led 88-85. With crunch-time arrived, both teams began to punch back and trade leads as Sonnefeld and Buck baskets gave Koblenz the 89-88 lead. But Paderborn continued to attack the tiring 1-1 Koblenz defense getting lay in´s by Maughmer and Klussmann for the 93-89 lead. Koblenz then got clutch buckets from Jeffries and Wishart to tie the game at 93-93. Klussmann then connected on free throws for the 95-93 lead. Koblenz had one more possession as Calvin Wishart had the ball and settled for a step back trey from the top of the key that fell short ending the game. “I think that we were a bit tired at the end. We allowed easy baskets. I watch Calvin´s last shot fly by. Unfortunately it was a little short”, said Jannis Sonnefeld. “I had to keep attacking at the end. I have a special touch to draw fouls. It´s all about feeling optimistic and finding the gaps. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn´t. I paid a ticket at the end to watch Wishart´s shot. He likes taking those shots. It´s still a tough shot. Teichmann played good defense on him”, said Jonathan Klussmann. The Paderborn Baskets were led by Jonathan Klussmann with 24 points while Branden Maughmer added 16 points and Eyassu Worku 14 points while the EPG Baskets Koblenz were led by Calvin Wishart with 27 points while DJ Jeffries added 15 points. The Paderborn Baskets shot 52% from the field and 56% from outside and had 27 rebounds and 17 turnovers while the EPG Baskets Koblenz shot 53% from the field and 39% from outside and had 21 rebounds and 13 turnovers.,

Brandton Chatfield(Nurnberg Falcons) Is A Versatile Offensive Player That Wants To Be Able To Guard 1-5.

Pic credit: Zink

Brandton Chadfield is a 24 year old 208cm forward from Washington playing his rookie season for Pro A team Nurnberg Falcons. He began his basketball career at Clarkston High School and then played 7 games at Washington State. He then played 3 years at Seattle University (NCAA) averaging 4.2ppg, 3.4rpg, 7.0ppg, 5.1rpg, 1.1bpg, FGP: 69.1%, 3PT: 39.3%, FT: 87.0%and 9.3ppg, 5.3rpg, FGP: 65.8%, 3PT: 29.0%, FT: 67.1%. He finished his NCAA career at Iowa State University playing 35 games averaging 3.8ppg, 3.1rpg. He spoke to germanhoops.com about basketball.

Thanks Brandton for talking to germanhoops.com. Your playing your rookie season with German Pro A team Nuernberg Falcons BC (Germany-ProA). What kind of an experience has it been for you? What have you enjoyed most about the experience?
It has been a great experience so far, my wife has moved over here with me so that has definitely helped me a lot. My teammates and coaches have made the transition much easier. I have really enjoyed all the amazing places I’ve been able to see already, as well as the welcoming environment the fans have given me.

What was your wake up call to being a rookie overseas where you knew that you were far away from home?
One wake up call was going to the supermarket for the first time, and not recognizing much of the things I am used to back home, as well as trying to learn Deutsch to be able to read items at the grocery store. On the basketball side of things, I think it was one of our first preseason games at Crailsheim, I expected the game to maybe have a few fans, mostly family and friends of each team. But when it just kept getting more and more full, I realized that it was much different than America. But I had a really good time and enjoyed playing once some of the butterflies went away.

Nurnberg has had a roller coaster season so far winning the first 2, then losing 4 and then a 4 game winning streak. How can you explain the early season play as of now?
We had a very strong pre-season and I feel like that carried into the beginning of the season. But after those first two games we began struggling defensively, and we weren’t functioning as well as we could have been, as seen in the preseason. We have put some hard work and dedication into our defensive fundamentals, clearing up how we want to defend certain actions, and this has helped us succeed.

The team has been playing good basketball as of late and won 2 nail bitters. What strides have you seen the team make in the last weeks?
With the improvements we’ve been making on the defensive end it has allowed us to get more in transition and get out and run the ball. This helps the team become more confident on the offensive end, and allows us to have more flow through our offense.

Your averaging 13/87stats. You have needed no adjustment period. What has been your secret to the success?
I did a lot of work over this past summer working on my offensive game with a former overseas pro big man who played in Japan. This really helped me gain the confidence to score the ball more, And the preseason helped me find where I fit within the team, and helped define what my role was going to be this year.

How key have German guys Julius Wolf and Lars Lagerpusch been for you? Have they been like mentors in the early going? What have you soaked up most from him so far?
Both Wolf and Lagerpusch have helped me a lot, in terms of understanding the way European basketball is played and helped to adapt my game to the different play style. They both give me tons of tips all the time, that I try and implement right away to improve my game.

Let’s talk about your game. You’re a 208cm forward. If you had to compare your game to a NBA player who would best fit the description.
If I had to compare my game to an NBA player, I believe that Brook Lopez would best fit the description, I really like the way he plays, for example getting to the boards, being able to battle inside, but also not afraid to go out and shoot the 3.

You’re a versatile forward. Would you describe yourself as a modern day big man. What are your biggest strengths on the court?
I would describe myself as a modern day big man, but I feel as if one of my main ways of scoring the ball is with my back to the basket, as well as offensive rebounding. And I take a lot of pride on my defensive capabilities, whether it is guarding the ball screen or switching onto a smaller player.

Your three pointer has been up and down the last years but currently shooting 57%. Your shot selection has been very good. What goals do you have with your shooting this season?
My goals for shooting this season are to be confident in my 3 point shot and take good ones when they are available. I try my best to work for a good position inside, but if the shot is not there, I don’t want to force up any bad shots inside, even if they may have the chance, I would rather pass the ball to an open teammate and get the best possible position for an offensive rebound.

How would you describe your defensive game now? What kind of a defender are you now and what Kind of defender do you still want to become?
I am strong and physical player by nature, and I use that to my advantage on both ends of the floor, I can guard smaller players, but I want to continue to improve so I can guard 1-5, if I am needed too. I want to continue to work on my speed and quickness, and I want to be able to play tight to whoever I’m guarding, and be able to dictate where I want them to go.

On what areas of your game are you working on most now so you can continue to improve your game?
The areas that I am working on most are my 3 point shot, ball handling, and working on my driving game. As I feel as though all three can help expand my game, and be an asset to the team and having a big man that can do those things will help spread the court, and provide more scoring options.

You began your college career at Washington State University (NCAA) and was there from 2019-2021, but played only 7 games. How tough were these 2 years for you. Could you sample any positives from these years?
It was tough not playing but I was surrounded by a lot of great people that wanted to see me succeed, older teammates, the strength coach, and basketball coaches. They helped to push me to gain more weight, put on more muscle, and work extremely hard to become better. I am extremely thankful for my time at Washington State.
You were teammates for 2 seasons with DJ Rodman. What was it like being teammates with him? Did he ever tell any Dennis Rodman stories?
DJ Rodman is a great teammate and friend, he and Ryan Rapp were my best friends, and roommates, while going to school at Washington State. They saw potential in me and helped to push me to work hard, they are both extremely skilled players, and being able to go to the gym with them and see how they worked on their game helped me a lot.

You then moved to Seattle University (NCAA) averaging 4.2ppg, 3.4rpg, 7.0ppg, 5.1rpg, 1.1bpg, FGP: 69.1%, 3PT: 39.3%, FT: 87.0% and 9.3ppg, 5.3rpg, FGP: 65.8%, 3PT: 29.0%, FT: 67.1%. How big was making this decision to go there? How did your game grow in those 3 years?
The decision to transfer to Seattle was a big one, it was hard leaving everything at Washington State, but everyone around me knew it was the best decision as I would be earning a scholarship there and getting some real minutes playing. It helped me gain a lot of confidence and found out who I was as a player, and how I would be able to score the ball and help my team. I appreciate the entire staff at Seattle for my development, both past and present.

How valuable was head coach Chris Victor for your development? What was the most important thing that you could learn from his coaching?
The entire coaching staff was amazing at Seattle from my first to last year there. All of the knowledge they instilled in me is invaluable. The most important thing I could learn from their coaching was that I need to work my best to be an everyday guy. Of course you will have your good and bad games, but doing your best to be consistent both in practice and in games can help your team and teammates in a lot of different ways.

You won the CBI title in 2024 beating High Point. How much did you cherish this title? What memories do you have of it?
I cherish this title a lot, it was the first championship, outside of regionals, that I had won in my basketball career. The team and I worked hard to get there, and we showed up everyday in that post season, as our mindset was to win the whole thing from the beginning. My most vivid memory was coming to the top of the key, catching and shooting the three, it may not have been the best choice in that moment giving the situation of the game, and I hadn’t had as great of shooting year as the previous year, but it went in, and helped give us a boost to finish the championship game strong.

You then added a season with Iowa State University (NCAA) playing 35 games averaging 3.8ppg, 3.1rpg. You averaged 13 minutes per game and reached the NCAA tournament. What positives could you take from this season
The positives I can take from my last season with Iowa State, are that even though I had built confidence when at Seattle, I was able to gain more and understand that I belong at a high level of basketball. I appreciate Coach TJ and the entire staff at Iowa State for believing in me and giving me the amazing opportunity to play in an amazing program, at the highest levels of college basketball.

You played against all the top school beating Arizona and Arizona State and others. What was your fondest experience on the court?
My fondest experience on the court would have to probably be in the moments when we would get a stop through strong defense, either by forcing a turnover, or forcing a bad pass that would go out of bounds. After this I would be able to celebrate for a couple of seconds with my teammate, while the crowd would be cheering like crazy in Hilton Coliseum.

Who won a 1-1 in practice you or Dishon Jackson?
It just depended on the day, he’s a great player and we both had times where we won 1v1s in practice.

You played against many great players in the NCAA, but who was the toughest battle that is in the NBA now?
I have had a lot of tough battles, its hard to put my finger on just one player.

Please name your best teammates of all-time?
I have had many great teammates throughout the years. One of them is Kobe Williamson. He is playing in Australia’s NBL. He was my roommate and best friend for the three years I was at Seattle. Although we played the same position, he always pushed me everyday to become my best self.

If you had to construct your very own NBA mount Rushmore which 4 heads would you?
For all time, I would probably have to choose Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and it is tied for the last spot between Larry Bird and Stephen Curry.

Who is your GOAT?
Michael Jordan

Did you see the sequel to the classic Coming To America? Shouldn’t they have left it alone?
I have, I didn’t think it was too bad, but nothing can beat the original movie!

Thanks Brandton for the chat.

Every New Back Door Cut With Justin Stallbohm Becomes The Next Fondest Moment For Berkant Campinar(Baskets Limburg) With Him

Berkant Campinar (180-PG-2001) is a 25 year old 180cm point guard playing for the Baskets Limburg. He has played here most of his career, but also played with ROTH Energie Basketball-Akademie Giessen (NBBL) and played a season with ASC Theresianum Mainz (2.Regionalliga). He spoke to germanhoops.com after the win over Eintracht Frankfurt ending the 2025-2026 season in third place.

Thanks Berkant for talking to germanhoops.com. When you arrive into the Limburg home court, what are your first thoughts?

I always feel proud. I have played here since my youth. It always feels like home. I feel really comfortable.

Except for some short stays in Giessen and Mainz, you have always played in Limburg. What does it mean to play for this organization?

It means a lot. I always give my all home or away. I always play hard when wearing the Limburg jersey.

Could imagine ever leaving this organization again?

That is a good question. You never know. As of now I feel really good playing for this organization.

The club had a good season finishing in third place. What has been your summary of how the team has played?

I feel like we had a really good season. We had a tough start losing our first three games. We had many new players. We fought back well and had good wins at home. We grew as a team this season.

How big are the aspirations in general to get back to the Regionalliga?

We as an organization have big aspirations to play in the Regionalliga. It is a different level though. Our main focus this season was to integrate and develop the young players.

Talk a little about your teammates. What has it been like being teammates with young German Myles Howell? How much potential does he have?

He has a lot of potential. I feel like he could play a role for any team. He always gives 110%. You don´t want to be guarded by him. He is a great defender and great teammate.

Where do you rate his nasty poster dunk recently?

That poster dunk was great. I got the steal and passed him the ball. I just remember how he jumped. That was definitely the best poster dunk that I ever saw live.

How special of a player is Kaan Kus? How valuable is his energy for the team? Is it infectious?

He is my cousin and is one of the team´s most experienced players with Justin Stallbohm. Kaan is so vital in the locker room. He always gives everything for the team. His energy always pushes the team.

Does Justin Stallbohm have the most incredible smile ever?

He has a super smile. He is always positive and laughing. He has a joker´s smile. He is always in a good mood.

What kind of a relationship have you had in the last years? How has his game helped yours?

We have known each other more than 10 years. He was a youth friend of mine. We understand each other so well on the court. I´m always looking for him. We harmonize so well on the court and know each other´s tendencies really well.

What is your fondest moment on the court with Justin?

I think every back door cut where he finds me for the score.

How vital has head coach Danny Stallbohm been for your game? How has he helped your game most over the years?

He gives me freedom. He has a lot of trust in me. He always has my back. If you play hard then you will play for him. We respect each other.

You’re a 180cm guard. If you had to compare your game to a NBA or Euroleague player who would best fit the description?

In my youth I would of said Rajon Rondo. I was always passing the ball. I have improved my scoring since then. Now I look at videos of Jalen Brunson.

Talk a little about your offensive skills. You have never been a big scorer. How can you impact the game best?

I have been fortunate to have been able to play with many talented point guards. I think that I read the game very well and know how to control the tempo. I think that I drive well and can find my teammates well.

Talk a little about your defensive game. How have you seen the development of your defensive game over the years?

Playing defense is a lot different in the first Regionalliga. I had to defend many physical players in the Regionalliga. I feel like having that experience really helped my develop. I have always played against older guys and that also helped me. I feel like I got a lot tougher and that makes it hard to score against me.

On what areas of your game are you working on most now so you can continue to improve your game?

I´m always working on my shot. I can be a bit streaky with my shot. If I have a good practice week of shooting, then I´m capable to hit a few three´s in a game. I always try to work on my aggressiveness and also to be more disciplined on defense.

How do you remember playing with the ROTH Energie Basketball-Akademie Giessen (NBBL)? You played with Nicolas Lagerman and Sebastian Brach. Brach has become a Pro A player. How talented was he already then?

I also have to add Tim Schneider to this group. All are great players. I had many good battles with them in Practice. I always had to give my all when facing them.

What is your earliest memory of strapping on the Limburg jersey? Your first game was against USC Heidelberg.

I remember that game against Heidelberg on the road. The atmosphere was great. It was a really cool experience. I just remember after that game, I wanted to keep doing that and play in the Regionalliga.

You were teammates with Kevin Yebo who went on to play in the Euroleague and BBL. Did you already see his incredible potential then?

It was hard to predict then that he could get so far one day. However I did see something special then when watching him play. He did things in practice then simply from instincts. That can´t be taught. I´m really happy for his success.

What is your best Mantas Bernatavicius story?

I just remember one time in practice he was battling another import and he blocked him and he gave the Mutumbo finger signalizing not in my house

What was your fondest memory with the Baskets Limburg?

I think that my personal fondest moment with Limburg was in our home gym. It was a few years ago when we played Reutlingen. I scored 18 points. It was my break out game. It felt so good. We stayed in the league that season. We played so well together.

Who was the toughest player that you ever faced on the court that reached a high league?

I remember it was a test game in the JBBL and we played Rasta Vechta and I played against Radi Casin. He was so good then. I had never seen something like that before.

Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri (Ahorn Camp Baskets) Likes To Do The Dirty Work And Credits Joe Asberry For Being His Mentor

Joe Asberry and Dami Ade-Eri in Quackenbruck

In general people in Germany may not know it, but Joe Asberry is a guy that has been extra instrumental in the paths of many young players find their way early when odds may have been against them. He is an ex pro player that really has seen it all from crime to drugs, but also played against legends like David Robinson (215-C-65, college: Navy), Gary Payton, Jason Kidd and Brian Shaw and was teammates with German legendary player Christian Welp. He had a 11 year professional career that saw him toil around in the minor leagues of Germany, but he belonged to the best in his day at that level. He has done so much since his playing days like being that vital spokesperson for young kids and drug prevention, being a guest speaker, a master of ceremonies at UBC Hannover, worked with Alba Berlin and currently in his second year with the Artland Dragons organization coaching girls U-14 and U-16 and boys U-18. And not to forget been a mentor for young Americans coming overseas trying to live the dream of being a professional basketball. There aren´t many Americans overseas that don´t know him. 2 players that he helped find their way were Kevin Yebo and Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri (193-SF-2002) simply known as Dami to his friends. Kevin Yebo has had a Cinderella story having began in the Regionalliga and really climbed the ranks in the Pro A and easyCredit BBL before finally reaching the Euroleague with FC Bayern Munich years later. “I discovered Kevin Yebo in Tannenbusch the roughest hood in Bonn. A big shout out to coach Danny Stallbohm in Limburg who gave him his first chance. I don´t need the credit. Kevin did all the work”, stated Joe Asberry. He met Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri and has guided him as well the last years. After moving up with Koblenz from the Pro B to Pro A, he mostly sat in the Pro A, but this season has found a new home in Speyer in the Pro B having taken a step back to recharge his career again. “I told Dami that coach Joe is going to let you play free and wild for 40 minutes. Your going to average 30,0ppg and 15,0rpg and we will win like I did back in the day. He listened and that´s exactly what he did at Tura Braunschweig”, stressed Joe Asberry. “My mentor definitely was and still is to this day Coach Joe Asberry. I’ve known him for years now and he was actually the one bringing me to Braunschweig. He really mentored me in good and bad days. It was an awesome feeling averaging 30,0ppg. Coach Joe really is great at making players play confident and comfortable. He made me play freely as long as I grab every board and dunk on people. Ade-Eri is a player that likes to do the dirty work on the court and credits Joe Asberry for being his mentor.

Joe Asberry with Kevin Yebo in Berlin

Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri who names German world champion Dennis Schroeder as being his toughest opponent ever on the court was born on August 18th, 2002 in Berlin Schoeneberg and grew up there. He played youth basketball with the Junior Loewen Braunschweig (NBBL) during Covid. This was such a tough time for players with missed seasons and less training opportunites, but he actually found positives out of it. “In my opinion, Covid was actually good for my career. Covid was a time of me grinding daily in the gym and working on weaknesses with Coach Liviu Calin and Nico Dilukila, stated Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. At the same time, he always got his feet wet playing with and against men with SG Braunschweig in the Regionalliga but only averaged 7,8 minutes. “It was actually a good experience. It was actually my first glimpse of more organized Basketball and made me hungry for more”, remembered Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. In this time, he also was able to practice with another young with Sananda Fru who reached the easyCredit BBL. I had some battles with Sananda Fru. We actually spend every summer together with some other friends and train together. I´m really happy for where he has gotten”, commented Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri.

The ex Braunschweig player who lists Raphael Ejimophor, Sananda Fru, Olivier Borgol, Dominique Johnson and Moses Pölking as his 5 best teammates of all-time then made the next step in his basketball career and went to the EPG Baskets Koblenz. In his first season he helped the club win the Pro B title and move up to the Pro A. He played a total of 53 games in 3 seasons and it may not seem like he played much, but his minutes rose every year. Did he get a fair chance there? “I played more every year. We really had a strong roster every year. I just used every chance I got and battled every minute. But I don’t think I could really put my abilities to prove, so that’s what I’m trying to do right now”, warned Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. His minutes rose from 3,9 to 5,8 to 12,4 each season. “I’d say my Basketball IQ grew the most in those three years. I’ve learned to understand Basketball at a high pace and make the right play at the right time”, stressed Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. He had some good scoring games last season against Munster and Crailsheim. “I remember those games, because they proved I was able to play on that level. My fondest moment was the pass from Moses Pölking in the post to me cutting through the middle and going up for the dunk. Beautiful feeling, the whole arena was hyped”, remembered Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. He was more than blessed having great teammates each season who all impacted him in his years of development there. “I’m really grateful for having many experienced teammates on the team. I’d say Dominique Johnson aka DJ really was the one impacting me the most. He really shared all of his knowledge with me, inspired me to play with confidence and believed in me. Don’t get it twisted, he really showed me tough love at times but was a great teammate for real”, said Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri.

This season the ex Koblenz German who lists Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson,Dirk Nowitzki, Dennis Schröder, Franz Wagner, and Detlef Schrempf on his personal NBA and German Mount Rushmore has a new challenge in the Pro B with the Ahorn Camp Baskets Speyer. “I actually like it here. It’s a small city and a quite familiar club. Good Organization and friendly people all around”, smiled Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. Last weekend he played the most minutes in his pro career with 36 in Frankfurt. Was this the best basketball decision in his life going to Speyer? “Winning the Pro B title in Koblenz was definitely a wonderful experience. And playing pro A has definitely helped me gain a lot of insight and experience in high level professional Basketball. Coming to Speyer I was expecting it to be an opportunity for me to have an important role with more responsibility for a club. The aim is to achieve the best possible outcome. It’s very nice playing more minutes, I’m really enjoying playing ball free and finally being able to use what if learned and trained for the past years So far, I don’t regret the decision”, stressed Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. He is more than blessed to have a great coach like Carl Mbassa who has noticed his qualities and given him minutes. “My relationship with Coach Carl is close. He always expects me to be aggressive and always inspires me to play as physical as possible”, added Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. He also has been very fortunate having another type of mentor figure with Speyer legend DJ Woodmore and battling against top pro B defender Dennis Diala on a daily basis. “DJ and I grew quite close over the season, we have dinner every other evening or just chill. It’s more like a friendship in which he’s just the older experienced friend that just motivates you and shares his knowledge. Dennis and I are actually good friends, but on the floor its straight business. We go at it daily in practice and exchange buckets. It’s good to have some kind of 1 to 1 rivalry, it just keeps you challenged at all times. No bad blood beside the court at all though”, stressed Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri

picc redit: Angel King Media

So what kind of a player is Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri in 2026 who names Michael Jordan as his GOAT? If one inspects his game, you would see a little Jonathan Kuminga in his game. “He is a little taller than me but I’d say I got a similar playing style,I run the transition and know how to finish well around the rim with dunks or athletic finishes. He goes for boards and is a good defender”, said Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. With Speyer he has that special role that will definitely help his entire game. “My Role in Speyer is definitely to be an allrounder and bring energy. Going for every board, defending the best man, being aggressive to the rim and hyping up the team and fans with some dunks of course”, smiled Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. Especially those guys that battle in the trenches are the most respected. “My strength really is running in transition and doing all the dirty work, putting my body on the line and going for every board. I attack close outs and play good off ball, for example with backdoor cuts”, stated Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. But there is one area with his game where he knows if he can improve that, then some more doors may be opened in his future. “I constantly work on my shot, taking extra reps and staying consistent in the gym. Right now, I try to find ways to still create the best shot for the team but working on my shot is daily work at the moment. I’ve been hitting more shots the last games but I still have a lot to work on my shot”, added Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. What goals does the young German still have with his game? “I think the sky is the limit. I really think I can reach high levels, I just need to keep hustling and believing. I know Jesus got me”, commented Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. It will be interesting to see where the journey will go in the next years for Oluwadamilola Ade-Eri. One thing is for sure Joe Asberry will always give him advice and the words “sky is the limit” will always come from his mouth.
