Sagesse adds Gibson to their roster, ex Beijing D.

Jonathan Gibson

Sagesse - Al Hekmeh Beirut (LBL) has added experienced 36-year-old American point guard Jonathan Gibson (188cm-84kg-1987, college: NM State) to their roster. Gibson has played for the last three seasons at Shougang Beijing Ducks in the Chinese CBA league. Last season, he recorded 12.9ppg, 4.4rpg, 4.3apg, and 1.2spg in 17 games.
He attempted to reach the NBA and participated in the NBA Pro Summer League in 2016.
He's a highly experienced player, having played professionally in seven different countries across three continents. He has played in China for teams like Jiangsu Dragons, Eagles, Guangsha Lions, and Anhui Wenyi. He also played in Iran for Petrochimi, Israel for Elitzur Ironi Ashkelon, Italy for Brindisi, Turkey for Trabzonspor and Oyak Renault, and in the NBA for the Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics. He has also played in the NBA G League for the College Park SkyHawks.
He won the Iranian Superleague championship title in 2014 and was voted the Asia-Basket.com All-Iranian Superleague Import Player of the Year in the same year. It is likely that he will retire from playing at Sagesse.
He graduated from New Mexico State University in 2010, and this upcoming season will mark his 14th as a professional player.
The scouts describe him in the following way:
Gibson, possibly the top 3rd year American professional player in Europe, has the potential to be a leading scorer in any league he competes in. His speed and agility make him nearly impossible to guard when he drives to the basket, and his ability to quickly release the ball from beyond the arc adds to his offensive prowess.
