Traditionally we at TIB publish a little overview at the start of each season discussing the Belgian Players who will be playing abroad. We do this in three seperate categories:
- Belgian Players Abroad in which we discuss the Belgian professional players abroad.
- Belgian Youngsters Abroad in wich we discuss the Belgian youngsters (born in 1999 or later).
- Belgian Student-Athletes in the USA in wich we discuss the Belgian youngsters who have decided to continue their development in the US education system.
With the global pandemic causing havoc for all basketball competitions this season the regular schedules have been blown to bits and we have some competitions that have already started, while others are only now beginning their preparations. Because of this it is quite possible that we will miss some players in these early overviews. But rest assured, we will correct those during the season.
With that said, let’s get this overview of the Belgian Players Abroad started.
Spain:
- Sam Van Rossom (Valencia – D1). Van Rossom really needs no introduction. The 34 yeard old Point Guard has been a pro since 2005 and is now in his 13th season playing abroad (his 8th season at Valencia). Last season Van Rossom played a total of 34 games for Valencia and averaged 7.8 ppg, 1.9 rpg & 4.3 apg.
- Quentin Serron (Bilbao – D1). The 30 year old Shooting Guard left Belgium in 2016 and has played 3 and a half seasons in France before he joined Bilbao in March 2020 to finish out the season. With Bilbao he played in 7 games and averaged 5.7 ppg, 2.7 rpg & 1.6 apg. Enough to get his contract extended to the current season.
- Jonathan Tabu (Manresa – D1). The 34 year old Point Guard enters his 17th season as a pro of which the last 11 have been abroad. Going from Italy, Spain, Germany and France, Tabu has now returned back to Spain. Tabu comes off a strong season at Le Portel in which he played 19 games and averaged 9.6 ppg, 1.8 rpg, 3.4 apg & 0.9 spg.
