Belgium's Thijs De Ridder has been a standout player in the FIBA U20 European Championship, helping his team reach the Semi-Finals for the first time in their history. He has shown incredible versatility on both ends of the floor, making him a valuable asset for the Belgian national team.
De Ridder's physical attributes, standing at 6ft 8in tall, allow him to excel in various roles on offense. He is effective in the paint, displaying great footwork, touch, and the ability to play through contact.
His post-up game is complemented by his offensive rebounding skills, creating extra possessions for his team.
Additionally, he is a consistent shooter from the perimeter, converting 38.7 percent of his three-point attempts in his FIBA career.
Although De Ridder's handle might not be elite, he compensates with his quick first step and ability to beat opponents off the dribble. His toughness and finishing ability make him a threat when attacking the basket.
Defensively, his strength and rebounding prowess allow him to hold his own in the post, while his mobility helps him guard opposing wings and forwards.
His impressive performance in the tournament has garnered attention, and he recently signed with Bilbao Basket in the Spanish ACB league for the upcoming season. De Ridder's future looks promising, and he could be a crucial player for the Belgian national team in the near future.
With the Belgian Cats excelling in women's basketball, winning the FIBA Women's EuroBasket title, De Ridder might be the rising star to lead Belgian basketball to even greater success.
