Arizona State basketball has secured a promising addition to its backcourt with the commitment of Noah Meeusen, a talented point guard who recently played for Filou Oostende in the BNXT League. The Sun Devils are banking on Meeusen’s international experience and efficient playmaking to bolster their rotation.
Meeusen, a product of Belgium’s professional system, made a name for himself with Oostende, one of the top programs in the BNXT League—a competition that features teams from both Belgium and the Netherlands. His ability to run an offense, score efficiently, and play under control at a high level of competition has caught the attention of Bobby Hurley and his staff.
Strong Season in the BNXT League
In the 2023–24 season with Oostende, Meeusen averaged:
• 6.4 points per game
• 2.6 rebounds per game
• 3.3 assists per game
• 55.5% shooting from the field
Those numbers reflect a guard who maximizes his opportunities. Meeusen showed a knack for getting into the paint, finishing around the rim, and finding teammates in rhythm. While not a high-volume scorer, his efficiency and decision-making set him apart.
What He Brings to Arizona State
For Arizona State, Meeusen provides:
• Court Vision & Passing – He thrives at setting up teammates and keeping the offense flowing.
• Efficiency – Shooting over 55% as a guard is rare, underscoring his ability to take smart shots.
• Experience Against Pros – Competing in the BNXT League has given him valuable reps against older, more physical players.
With ASU continuing to rebuild its roster to compete in a new-look college basketball landscape, Meeusen has the potential to grow into a reliable floor general who can impact both ends of the court.
The Bigger Picture
Meeusen’s commitment highlights Arizona State’s continued effort to recruit globally and tap into international pipelines. Players coming from professional leagues overseas often bring maturity, discipline, and adaptability—traits that can translate well in college basketball.
Sun Devils fans should keep a close eye on how Meeusen adjusts to the NCAA game. If his transition is smooth, he could become a key piece in the rotation and a stabilizing force in the backcourt.
