Gedi Juozapaitis has been named to the All-Peach Belt Conference first-team after a dominant sophomore year with Flagler College.

The Under-17 MVP from the 2015 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic, Juozapaitis is the first men’s basketball player to receive first-team honours in Flagler’s history after averaging 19 points per game this season, whilst leading NCAA Division II in 3-pointers made.

“I am so proud of Gedi and the growth he continues to display as a man and as a player,” said head men’s basketball coach Chad Warner.

“He has earned this award through countless hours of hard work. I am thankful for the relationship I have with him, and am more encouraged about his and our future than ever before.”

The 6-foot-5 forward led the Saints in scoring, rebounding (7.6 rpg), blocked shots (23), and he broke the school record for most 3-pointers made in a season (112). Juozapaitis is also second in NCAA Division II in 3-pointers made per game (3.86).

The Londoner is 13th in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (.461) and also broke the school record for treys made in a game with nine, having done it twice this season.

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.
