Jaron Blossomgame, new Roca Team recruit
AS Monaco Basket has formalized the arrival for one season, plus an optional one, of American strong winger Jaron Blossomgame (1.98m, 28 years old).
After Elie Okobo, Jordan Loyd and John Brown, AS Monaco Basket is hitting another big blow on the transfer market. As announced a few days ago, it’s Jaron Blossomgame’s turn to join the ranks of the Rocher club.
Able to evolve in position 3 and 4, the native of Alpharetta (like a certain Jordan Loyd) arrives from Ulm in Germany. Last season, he was elected to the All-Eurocup First Team with an average of 16.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 19.8 rating, all punctuated by an insolent three-point success (41, 9%).
A quick stint in the NBA
Drafted in 2017 at the 59th position by the San Antonio Spurs, he mainly played in the G-League during the first three seasons (127 games). He made two NBA appearances with the Cleveland Cavaliers, before leaving the United States to join Ironi Nahariya’s club in Israel, then Ulm, Germany.
