Career highlights and awards

Justin Bibbins (born January 26, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for SKS Starogard Gdański of the Polish Basketball League. He played college basketball for Long Beach State and Utah.

College career

Bibbins was recruited by Utah out of high school but the Utes did not have a scholarship available for him by the time he was to join the squad. Instead, Bibbins enrolled at Long Beach State and was twice named All-Conference.[1] He averaged 13.1 points and 4.6 assists per game as a junior.[2] After graduating from Long Beach State, Bibbins decided to transfer to Utah for his final season of eligibility. He was named team captain despite being new to the program.[1] He did not start out the season strong, but had 23 points and made five 3-pointers in a victory against Ole Miss and became the team's primary scoring option after a rash of injuries to other players. As a senior at Utah, Bibbins averaged 14.8 points and 4.7 assists per game, hitting 93 three-pointers, the second-highest single-season mark in Utes history. He was named to the First-team All-Pac 12 and led the team to 23-win season and an appearance in the NIT championship game. [3]

Professional career

Bibbins worked out for several NBA teams in preparation for the 2018 NBA draft and said he draws inspiration from former Utah player Kyle Kuzma.[4] On August 15, 2018, Bibbins signed with SKS Starogard Gdański of the Polish Basketball League.[5]
