After Alpha Diallo, John Brown and Donta Hall, AS Monaco is about to hire another quality player for the 2022-2023 season. Several journalists or media (Luca d’Alessandro, Total Basket, Encestando and Basketnews) have announced the signing of Jaron Blossomgame (1.98 m, 28 years old) within the club of the principality.
Victim of a broken leg in the AAU tournament in the summer of 2012, this 3/4 position had to wait until he was 20 to start playing in the NCAA with Clemson. It was in 2017 that he launched his professional career. Drafted in 59th position by the San Antonio Spurs, he mainly played in the G-League in his first three career seasons (127 matches), before crossing the Atlantic in the summer of 2020. After a successful season in Israel at the ‘Ironi Nahariya (17.7 points at 52.3% shooting success, 6.4 rebounds and 0.8 against in 33 minutes), he joined Ulm in Germany. There, he dominated (16 points at 50.6% and 6.1 rebounds in 32 minutes) to the point of being retained in the ideal five of the EuroCup season. During a match in Bourg-en-Bresse, the native of Alpharetta (Georgia) had accumulated 17 points, 12 rebounds and 5 fouls for 30 evaluation in 40 minutes.
Athletic winger, formidable in transition and strong shooter (39.1% 3-point success on 4.2 attempts per game in 2021-2022), he corresponds well to the profile of players sought by AS Monaco.
