London Lions continue to piece together a roster for team’s return to the BKT Eurocup, inking forward Joel Scott to a one year deal. Scott (2.01 meters, 24 years old) arrives to London from the German side Ludwigsburg, where he made his professional debut last season.
Scott possesses size and body frame to battle inside, and a shooting touch to score from long range. He posted 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in German League action, hitting a total of 42 triples in 32 appearances, but really took his performances to another level late in the regular season.
In late April and early May, Scott strung together five games in which he scored at least 20 points and pulled down at least 7 rebounds in each contest. He had two double-doubles during that span, and averaged 21.6 points and 9.0 rebounds in those five games, before finishing the season with a 15-point performance in just 13 minutes against the eventual champion FC Bayern Munich.
Scott also had those same averages, 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 14 games in the Fiba Europe Cup last season, which has his first as a pro after a collegiate career that saw him play NCAA division II basketball at Black Hills State University, before playing his senior year at Colorado State.
He is now set to make his EuroCup debut.
