FMP Soccerbet announced that they have signed contract with 26-year-old American guard Joshua Scott.

Scott spent the first part of the 2024/25 season in NLB ABA League 2 side Podgorica Bemax where he had some record-breaking performances.

Scott averaged 21.5 points, 6.3 assists and 5 rebounds in the 2024/25 NLB ABA League 2 regular season, while in two games he made extraordinary displays that will stay forever written in the league history books.

In the match between Široki TT Kabeli and Podgorica Bemax, Joshua Scott made a triple-double as he finished the game with 21 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.

While in the last round of the 2024/25 NLB ABA League 2 regular season, Scott led Podgorica Bemax toward a win vs. Pelister-Bitola with the league’s all-time single-game scoring record of 53 points and with the index rating of 63, which is the 2nd best single-game index rating ever achieved in the NLB ABA League 2.

Now, it is time for him to make a step forward and try himself at the biggest basketball stage in this region – in the AdmiralBet ABA League. Scott might make a debut already next weekend when FMP Soccerbet will host one of the league leaders Budućnost VOLI.

Džošua Skot novo pojačanje FMP-a

KK FMP SoccerBet je dobio veliko pojačanje na bekovskim pozicijama. Ugovor sa Panterima potpisao je Džošua Skot (192, 1998) koji je do sada veoma uspešno nastupao za ekipu Podgorice u Drugoj ABA ligi.

Skot gotovo jednako dobro pokriva obe bekovske pozicije i profilisao se kao lider ekipe Podgorice u dosadašnjem takmičenju u drugoj po snazi regionalnoj ligi. Prosečno je beležio 21.5 poen, uz 6.3 asistencije i pet skokova. Posebno su se istakle dve utakmice u dosadašnjem toku sezone jer je svaka na svoj način bila rekordna. Naime, u utakmici protiv Širokog Džošua Skot je upisao tripl-dabl učinak što je apsolutno nesvakidašnja pojava na evropskim parketima. Za 34 minuta na perketu postigao je 21 poen, upisao 12 asistencija i deset skokova. Meč protiv Pelistera odigran pre šest dana je takođe priča za sebe. U pobedi Podgorice 93:74 Skot je upisao čak 53 poena uz neverovatne procente šuta (14/21 za 2, 3 od 6 za 3 i 16/17 sa linije za slobodna bacanja). Uz to je upisao i šest skokova, šest asistencija i pet ukradenih lopti pa je imao indeks kroisnosti neverovatnih 63.

Nema sumnje da je Skot zaslužio da se dokaže na još većoj sceni kakva je sigurno ABA liga i stoga je KK FMP SoccerBet ponosan što je igrač rođen u Sejnt Peterzburgu (SAD) prepoznao Železnik kao pravo mesto za dodatan razvoj i iskorak u karijeri. Skot će treneru Petru Aleksiću biti na raspolaganju već na meču protiv Budućnosti koji je na programu u subotu 28. decembra u FMP Areni.
