Finnish Forward Jesper Granlund Completes Longwood Tenure, Heads to Professional Basketball
The 6'5" Helsinki native wrapped up his 2023-24 season at Longwood averaging 5.0 points and 2.6 rebounds per game while shooting 38.1% from the field. A versatile wing who played all 32 games in 2022-23 with 25 starts, Granlund went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft and has since returned to professional basketball in Finland's Korisliiga. His value lies in his positional versatility and composed floor presence—a reliable role player who can contribute across multiple positions rather than a high-volume scorer.
