Eric Michael Devendorf, born on April 21, 1987, in Bay City, Michigan, established his basketball career early, achieving recognition as a McDonald’s All-American in 2005. He played collegiately for Syracuse University from 2005 to 2009, making an immediate impact by being named to the Big East All-Rookie team in his freshman year. During his sophomore season, Devendorf was named MVP of the BCA Invitational and earned Honorable Mention All-Big East selection, demonstrating his evolving skills on the court. His junior year was marked by a significant injury, an ACL tear, which sidelined him for most of the season, but he was granted a hardship waiver, allowing him to return for another year. In his final season at Syracuse, Devendorf averaged 15.7 points per game and ranks 14th on the school’s all-time scoring list with 1,680 points. He went undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft but embarked on a professional career, playing in the NBA D-League and internationally.
From 2009 to 2016, Devendorf played for several teams across various leagues, including the Reno Bighorns and Idaho Stampede in the NBA D-League. His international career saw him compete in New Zealand, Australia, Turkey, Ukraine, and Israel, where he earned a NZNBL championship title in 2010 and twice became the NZNBL scoring champion in 2010 and 2016. After retiring from professional play, Devendorf transitioned into coaching and mentoring. In October 2016, he returned to Syracuse University as an assistant strength coach for the men’s basketball team. He later served as a special assistant to the head coach at the University of Detroit Mercy from 2018 to 2019 and coached girls’ junior varsity basketball at Liverpool High School from 2021 to 2022. Devendorf currently runs ED23HOOPS, a basketball training and development business, and the ED23 Foundation, focusing on youth empowerment. He also serves as a college basketball analyst for ESPN and ACC Network, combining his experience with his analytical skills.
Throughout his career, Devendorf has consistently been involved in basketball, either as a player, coach, or commentator. His diverse experience includes navigating the demands of professional basketball both domestically and internationally, as well as dedicating himself to community involvement through his foundation and training programs. These roles highlight a trajectory focused on sustained engagement within the sport, developing young talent, and contributing to basketball analysis. His work with ED23HOOPS and ED23 Foundation underscores his commitment to mentorship and skill development within the basketball community.
