Devon Van Oostrum Wins English U16 Player of the Year Award..Again

By Sam Neter on February 3, 2010

Former Sheffield Sharks sensation Devon Van Oostrum has collected his second consecutive England Player of the Year Award. Van Oostrum, a ’93 born 6’3 point guard, played extremely well for the England side at the 2009 European Championship, averaging 21ppg and helping them to a bronze medal. He is currently playing for Spanish side, Caja Laboral (formerly Tau Cermica) Baskonia. Speaking exclusively to Hoopsfix, talking about winning the award, like a true competitor, he said

Obviously its a nice award to win individually, but all I wanted was to get promoted to the A division and the fact that we lost in the semi finals still kills me! Hopefully this year England finally gets promotion.

He went on to talk about his season

Everything’s going really well; we’re winning games and I’m playing good basketball but more importantly im improving.

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.
