Devon Van Oostrum Loaned to Tarragona

By Sam Neter on September 21, 2011

Great Britain’s Devon van Oostrum (1993 born) has been loaned out by Caja Laboral to LEB gold side Tarragona for the coming season.

The 6’3″ point guard, who has just recently returned from Eurobasket where he was the second youngest player in the tournament, will be loaned out for the season to the Catalonia based side in Spain’s second division, where it is hoped he will gain more valuable experience playing at a higher level than would be available at Baskonia.

Last season he suited up Caja Laboral men’s second team which compete in Spain’s fifth division, as well as the under-18 side (which he dominated). He averaged 13.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game this summer with the GB U20s (being three years younger than the competition) before getting a call up to the senior men’s squad where he showed flashes of his potential including being the team’s youngest ever leading scorer against Nigeria in a warm-up where he had 18 points. Arrangements have been made for DVO to be able to continue his education whilst on loan.

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.
