Career

After graduating from high school in his hometown of New Albany, Hobbs went to college at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky to study forensics. Their sports teams called Knights compete in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) of the NCAA Division II. Hobbs was involved in the first two Bellarmine Knights title wins in the 2010 and 2011 GLVC championship tournaments. Furthermore, the Knights always reached the national finals of Division II during Hobbs' active time. After the Sweet Sixteen in 2009, however, they lost in the second round in 2010, before reaching the elite eight final tournament in 2011 after only two defeats this season Division II advanced. Here they defeated the Seasiders of Brigham Young University – Hawaii in the final with 71:68. A year later you lost as the defending champion in the semi-finals to the Montevallo Falcons . However, previously was the GLVC "Player of the Year" and finally to 2,012 Hobbs, who had already been appointed GLVC "Freshman of the Year" 2009 Player of the Year was named the Association of College coach NABC. Despite these individual honors, Hobbs was of no interest as a Division II player for clubs in the top tier professional league, the NBA .

Therefore, Hobbs also played in the northern hemisphere in the summer of 2012 , when the most talented graduates of Division I wanted to recommend themselves in trial training units and the NBA Summer League for the NBA, in Australia's semi-professional Queensland Basketball League (QBL) for the Meteors from Mackay . With the Mackay Meteors he won the title in this league. For the European winter he returned to the northern hemisphere and played in the second Spanish league LEB Oro for Ciudad de Baloncesto from Cáceres , a re-establishment of the former first division club and European Cup participant, which was dissolved in 2005. As sixth in the main round, the team reached the play-offs for promotion to the top division, in which they lost in the semi-final series River Andorra . Hobbs then played again in the QBL, this time for Port City Power from Gladstone . Although Hobbs was chosen as the best assists and best distance shooter from behind the three-point line in the "All League team" of the best five players of that season, City Power missed the entry into the play-offs for the title. In the 2013/14 season of the northern hemisphere Hobbs returned to Europe and played in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I / A for the Hungarian master Alba Fehérvár from Székesfehérvár . In the Eurocup 2013/14 , the newcomer achieved two home wins against KK Budućnost Podgorica and TED Ankara Kolejliler in a total of ten international games and was eliminated from this competition after the first group stage. In the national championship, the defending champion slipped to sixth place in the second round after taking second place in the preliminary round and was ultimately eliminated from the title award in the first play-off round.

From the Hungarian European Cup participant, Hobbs finally switched to the German second division club rent4office BC from Nuremberg in the ProA 2014/15 for the following season 2014/15 . The Nürnberger improved to the second place in the main round and lost their chances of promotion to the top division due to three defeats in the play-off semi-final series against the long-time first division club and old master Gießen 46ers. After being named Player of the Month twice, Hobbs had been named Player of the Year at the ProA 2014/15 and then moved to Gießen , of all places, to join the 46ers, who had returned to the Bundesliga against his Nuremberg team . Before that, Hobbs won the QBL 2015 title again with the Mackay Meteors after his team had defeated the Toowoomba Mountaineers around Hobbs' former teammate from college days and top scorer Jeremy Kendle in the semifinals . In addition to another appointment to the “All League Team”, Hobbs was also named Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the final series.

In the basketball Bundesliga 2015/16 , Gießen 46ers who returned to the first division with a balanced season record in ninth place surprisingly only narrowly missed the place in the play-offs for the German championship and only because of the poorer direct comparison . From the personal statistics Hobbs knew how to convince and was statistically third-best point guard of the first division season with an effectiveness of just under 16 . In addition to an average of five assists, he also achieved the best value with a good five rebounds per game and the third best value for point guards with 1.7 ball wins and achieved an above-average distance throw rate with almost 42% hit rate from behind the three-point line . For the following basketball Bundesliga 2016/17 Hobbs was signed by the German runner-up ratiopharm from Ulm , with whom he also returned to the international stage in the EuroCup 2016/17 . After only one season with the Swabians, who failed in the semi-finals at the EWE Baskets Oldenburg , Hobbs signed a two-year contract with FC Bayern Munich . In 2018 and 2019, the American became German champions with FCB. In 2018, they also won the German cup competition. To achieve the championship title in 2018 Hobbs contributed an average of 7.2 points and 2.9 assists in 43 appearances (in which there was not a single time in the starting line-up). In the 2018/19 game year he stood out with a three-point hit rate of 53.9 percent, averaged 6.0 points and prepared 2.5 basket hits for his teammates. In the EuroLeague, he played 18 matches in 2018/19 with an average of 3.7 points per mission. Hobbs, who was considered the favorite player of Bayern President Uli Hoeneß , had a difficult time in Munich because his sometimes carefree and unconventional style of play was classified as too risky by coach Dejan Radonjic .

At the beginning of July 2019 he was signed by EWE Baskets Oldenburg  .
