Jacob Round (2000 Born) European Championship Highlights

By Sam Neter on January 7, 2016

Take a look back on Jacob Round at the 2015 Division A Under-16 European Championship with England.

Widely considered the most talented player in the 2000 born generation, the 6’2″ guard averaged 8.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 26 minutes per game at the Euros, being a year young.

The NEBC Titans’ guard best outing came in England’s 77-76 win over Israel, finishing with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.

You may remember him from his big back to back dunk sequence in the U18 Jr. NBL earlier this season.

Basketball talent runs in the Round family; Jacob is the younger brother of 1995 born Sam Round, who averaged double digits for the England U16 promotion-winning squad at the 2011 Euros, while their sister, 1998 born Sarah Round, was part of the England U16 squad at the 2014 Euros.

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.
