Career highlights and awards

Gabe DeVoe (born December 16, 1995) is an American professional basketball player who last played for Start Lublin of the Polish Basketball League (PLK). He played college basketball for Clemson.

High school career

[edit]

DeVoe decided to pursue basketball as his only sport in seventh grade and pursued a practice regimen that saw him wake up at 5AM and shoot and do conditioning drills at the local YMCA.[1] He attended Shelby High School in North Carolina where he became a star. As a senior, DeVoe averaged 34 points per game. He set school records for career points (2,072) and 3-pointers (218). DeVoe was honored as the Associated Press and Charlotte Observer Player of the Year in 2014. Considered a three-star recruit, DeVoe committed to Clemson.[2] Despite growing up a North Carolina fan, leading the state in scoring, and being the class president, the Tar Heels did not offer him a scholarship, and neither did Duke.[1]

College career

[edit]

At Clemson, DeVoe played sparingly in the beginning, averaging 2.3 points per game as a freshman. He increased his scoring average to 5.3 points per game as a sophomore. He became a full-time starter as a junior and posted 7.1 points per game.[3] In his senior season, DeVoe averaged 14.2 points per game, shooting 39.6 percent from behind the arc and hitting a career-high 86 3-pointers. He had to assume a larger role on the team after teammate Donte Grantham tore his ACL in January 2018.[2] DeVoe was named player of the week in the Atlantic Coast Conference on February 5, after averaging averaged 20.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game and shooting 60.9 percent in two wins against North Carolina and Wake Forest. He became the first Clemson player since Terrence Oglesby in 2008 to hit at least five three-pointers in consecutive games.[4] DeVoe's best performances came in the NCAA Tournament however, scoring 22 points in the first two matches. In the Sweet 16, he contributed a career-high 31 points in a loss to Kansas.[2] DeVoe averaged 17.1 points per game in the team's last 16 games.[5] He graduated from Clemson's business school with a degree in marketing in May 2018.[1]

Professional career

DeVoe worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers in preparation for the 2018 NBA draft.[5] After going unselected in the draft, DeVoe joined the Charlotte Hornets for the 2018 NBA Summer league.[2] In September 2018, DeVoe signed a deal with Polish basketball team Basket Zielona Góra.[6]
