GERMANY BECKONS FOR LUKE
Great Britain guard Luke Nelson has joined German BBL side Gottingen on a one-year deal.
The 25-year-old spent last season, his third as a professional, at Spanish ACB outfit Manresa where he averaged 5.6 points in nine league appearances.
“Luke is a British combo guard who has played in the Spanish ACB for a few years and has some experience,” said Gottingen’s head coach Roel Moors.
“It is interesting because he is also an option as a second ball handler or creative player. Luke is very good at pick and roll and a good passer. He is also able to shoot from the outside.
“I have only heard good things about his character so that it will be easy for him to be with us. â€
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.
