Hesson had some huge performances throughout the campaign with a best of 32 points on three separate occasions as well as producing a triple-double of 31 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists in December.

The 32-year-old has become a key figure for GB having been co-captain during the successful EuroBasket qualification campaign, and is currently part of England’s 3×3 squad in preparation for the Commonwealth Games.

Hesson previously spent the majority of his pro career in France before making the move to Japan and now switches to Kagawa Five Arrows, who finished top of the West Conference with a 36-16 record last 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.
