Devon Van Oostrum Re-Signs in Greece, Joins Koroivos

By Sam Neter on August 11, 2016

Devon Van Oostrum will be returning to Greece’s top flight next season, but making a switch to join Koroivos Amaliadas BC, as first reported by Basketblog.gr.

Van Oostrum led Arkadikos in assists this year, at 3.5 per outing, along with 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. DVO shot 42% from the floor in 27.4 minutes per game as Arkadikos finished 8-18 in Greece’s A1 league for a 12th place finish.

Koroivos finished a place below Arkadikos last year, 13th, with an 8-19 record.

The 1993 born guard was a surprise omission from this summer’s Great Britain Senior Men squad, but took to Twitter to explain he has chosen to focus on the next steps of his professional career.

FYI… I said no to focus on the next steps in my professional career… Good luck to those involved 🏀🏀🏀

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.
