SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (July 20, 2023) – The UC Santa Barbara Men's Basketball team is excited to add Kilian Brockhoff to the roster for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
"We are really excited for Kilian to join our team," said Head Coach Joe Pasternack. "He's a perfect fit for UC Santa Barbara. His size and ability to shoot the three will really help our team."
Brockhoff comes to Santa Barbara from Vechta, Germany. The 6-foot-9-inch forward is a prolific scorer from the perimeter and inside, which will help stretch the floor on the offensive side of the ball. Brockhoff played for the German National U16, U18 and U20 teams. As a member of the U18 team, he averaged 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game at the 2022 FIBA European Championships.
Last year, he played for Vetcha II a member of the German Pro B League. He was also a member of the Rasta Dragons U19 team in the German NBBL where he averaged 11.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He led the Dragons to the NBBL final where they eventually lost to Alba Berlin.
He will join this Gaucho team that is coming off their second March Madness appearance in three seasons. The Gauchos ended the 2022-23 season with an overall record of 27-8 with a Big West record of 15-5.
