Jordan Roland averages 22 points per game for the VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier, ranking second across the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga in scoring alongside 3.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 2 steals per contest.
Scoring Power and Unconventional Shooting Form at the Mosel
Known as the “sling from the Mosel” due to an unorthodox shooting form developed during his college career, Roland has not scored below 20 points in any of his first three league appearances this season. He played at George Washington University from 2015 to 2017 before transferring to Northeastern University. After college, Roland moved overseas in 2021 to play for Valur Reykjavík in Iceland, where he averaged 21.6 points per game. He then joined the SEAWOLVES in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, located about 2,202 air kilometers away from the island of around 400,000 residents, helping the club earn promotion from the BARMER 2.
Roster Changes and Promotion to the Top German Division
Injuries and an oversupply at the guard positions led Rostock to part ways with their high-volume shooter during the 2023/2024 season. Convinced of his qualities, the VET-CONCEPT Gladiators signed the 1.85-meter-tall guard in November 2024. At the Mosel, the US citizen developed continuously and tied in with earlier performances, despite having to cope with several setbacks alongside numerous sporting highlights. Opposing defenses, including the RIESEN around head coach Carles Duran, must commit significant attention to his perimeter shooting to prevent him from taking over matches.
