Hapoel Tel-Aviv/C/
United StatesPlayer Info
Johnathan Motley is a powerful and athletic forward whose combination of strength and skill has made him a force in international basketball, currently starring for Hapoel Tel Aviv. The 30-year-old from Houston, Texas, was a standout at Baylor University, earning First-Team All-Big 12 honors before going undrafted in 2017. Motley quickly proved himself in the NBA G League, winning both the MVP and Rookie of the Year awards in 2018—a rare and impressive feat—while playing for the Texas Legends. This earned him a two-way contract with the LA Clippers, where he showed flashes of his potential in limited NBA action. Seeking a starring role, Motley moved to Europe and has since dominated, particularly in the Russian VTB League with Lokomotiv Kuban, where he was a multi-time All-Star and one of the league's most prolific scorers and rebounders. His honors list is headlined by that historic G League MVP season. Motley's game is built on relentless energy, a soft touch around the basket, and a ferocious dunking ability. He is a classic example of a player whose talent demanded a larger platform, which he found and conquered overseas.
