Jubrile Belo completes rookie season with playoffs title in France
Jubrile Belo had the perfect finish to a rookie season after helping Stade Rochelais to a historic Pro-B playoffs title, in France.
The rookie forward contributed nine points and 12 rebounds in the Game 2 victory over Boulazac which also secured his side’s place in the top-flight for the first time in its history.
Belo – who made a GB Senior debut earlier this year – finished the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 9.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game across 41 appearances.
The Barking Abbey product turned pro last summer after spending four years at Montana State – earning the Big Sky Player of the Year accolade in 2022 – with 1500+ points and 750+ rebounds accumulated, whilst setting the school’s block record.
Stade Rochelais finished top of the regular season standings with a 27-7 record, before beating ASA 2-1 and sweeping Rouen en route to the Finals.
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.
