Ryan Broekhoff (born 23 August 1990) is an Australian professional basketball player for the South East Melbourne Phoenix of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball at Valparaiso University in the United States, where he was named an All-American in 2012, and has represented Australia in several international competitions.

College career[]

Broekhoff, a 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) swingman from Frankston, Victoria, played at the prestigious Australian Institute of Sport, where he caught the attention of Valparaiso University assistant coach Chris Sparks. As a result, Broekhoff chose Valparaiso in Valparaiso, Indiana. After playing a support role in his freshman season (2009–10), Broekhoff entered the starting line-up as a sophomore, averaging 10.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. He led the Horizon League in three-point field goal percentage at 44.8% and placed sixth in the conference in blocked shots with 1.1 per contest.

As a junior in 2011–12, Broekhoff became one of the top players in the Horizon League. He averaged 14.8 points, 8.6 rebounds (first in the Horizon League) and 2.3 assists per game and led the Crusaders to the conference regular-season title and a National Invitation Tournament bid. At the end of the season, he was named Horizon League Player of the Year[1] and an honourable mention All-American by the Associated Press.[2]

In Broekhoff's final season at Valparaiso, he averaged a college-career high 15.7 points per game, while also averaging 7.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 32.2 minutes per game. Although he produced high numbers, he fell short in the conference MVP race to Detroit's Ray McCallum Jr.. Broekhoff led his team to a 26–7 record and the top seed in the Horizon League tournament. With less than 10 seconds remaining in the semi-final game against Green Bay-Wisconsin, Valparaiso was down 2 and Broekhoff drove the ball up the court and threw up a miracle shot. While landing on his back near the scorer's table, the ball went straight through the net sending Valparaiso to the title game. The Crusaders won the title game against Wright State and clinched an NCAA Tournament berth. Valparaiso drew Michigan State for their first game and fell short 65–54. Broekhoff scored 8.[3]
