Myles Hesson scored a season-high 29 points last night to lead Gravelines to victory in Pro-A action in France.

The GB forward went 4-of-8 from downtown and 7/8 free throws on his way to registering his best points tally in his second season in France.

Hesson also hauled down seven boards having scored 20 by half-time to help lead his side to an eventual 91-81 win over fellow FIBA Europe Cup side Nanterre.

The 26-year-old’s previous best in the French top-flight was 27 points which came in a 73-79 loss for Dijon last year.

However, Hesson finished two points shy of a pro career-high – according to his FIBA profile – having scored 31 points in a playoff game in Germany’s Pro-A back in April, 2014.

Hesson is now averaging 12.2 points per game on the season with Gravelines improving to an 8-7 record in Pro-A.

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.
