Rowell Graham has helped Valladolid advance to the LEB Silver Finals as they secured a second successive Game 5 victory in the playoffs in Spain.

The former GB U20 forward finished with 14 points, five rebounds and five assists in a series-clinching 95-74 home win against Moron.

Graham averaged 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 36 appearances this season having gone up against several other Brits in the third division.

Will Hall (Avila) and Matthew Don (Cambados) both suffered first round playoff exits with their respective sides, while Jack Crook missed out on the post-season with Agustinos.

Valladolid finished in seventh in the regular season with a 17-13 record and defeated third seeds Lucentum 3-2 in the opening round of the playoffs.

The 2009 second division champions have the chance to return to LEB Gold as they take on either Granada or Zornotza in the Finals.

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.
