Isaiah Hartenstein (born May 5, 1998 in Eugene , Oregon ) is a German - American basketball player . He last played in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Houston Rockets .

Career

Isaiah Hartenstein is the son of Florian Hartenstein who, after studying at the University of Oregon in Eugene, played for many years as a professional in the top German division basketball Bundesliga . In 2009 Florian Hartenstein moved to the Artland Dragons in Quakenbrück in Artland , where he played until 2012 and worked as a youth coach. As a youth coach, Florian Hartenstein trained his own son Isaiah at the Young Dragons in the youth basketball league (JBBL), who grew up to be a dominant player in the top German junior class. In his last two years in the JBBL, Isaiah Hartenstein achieved a so-called “ double-double ” of points and rebounds on average per game and was finally able to win the 2014 JBBL championship with the Young Dragons under his father as coach. He was awarded both as MVP of the season and as the first-time MVP of the Top Four final round ; his father also received the award as JBBL coach of the year. Already in April 2014 Hartenstein was the only German player of his year under the existing since 2002 Jordan Brand Classic participated in the game of "internationals" of the 20 selected young players who are not in a US American High School are active, where he spent four points contributed five rebounds in his team's victory. Since then, Hartenstein has been considered one of the greatest young European talents. At the European Youth Championship finals in the summer of 2014, Hartenstein lost the quarter-finals with the U16 national team against the host and later Vice European Champion Latvia and ended up in seventh place.

For the 2014/15 season, Hartenstein moved up to the junior team of the Young Dragons in the junior basketball league (NBBL). In addition, the 16-year-old Hartenstein was already included in the men's division as the most talented German player of his year in the first division squad of the Artland Dragons, where he trained under professional conditions and also on February 1, 2015 in the away game with the Eisbären Bremerhaven his first minute in the highest German league received. The men's team of the Dragons, in the previous year as a semi-finalist in the play-offs, still among the best four German teams, but disappointingly missed the finals of the German championship as eleventh at the end of the season. Patron Günter Kollmann , who himself was German runner-up with VfL Osnabrück in 1968, took this as an opportunity to stop sponsoring his home club for decades . Youth national player Hartenstein, who, with the German U18 team , together with Niklas Kiel and Kostja Mushidi, finished eighth in the U18 junior European Championship finals in the summer of 2015, was then in discussion with various top European clubs such as FC Barcelona and colleges in his country of birth. Hartenstein, who emulated Kevin Durant as a playful role model and wanted to act as a small forward from an "outside position" , decided on the Lithuanian club Žalgiris from Kaunas , one of the leading European clubs during the Soviet Union and most recently European Cup winner in 1999 . According to his own statements, this was where he most likely saw the opportunity to develop in the direction he wanted, while other clubs and training centers wanted to use him closer to the board in the front court because of his body length . Although he said he had already completed his schooling, Hartenstein stayed with his father, who trains the NBBL team of the Dragons, and the Dragons men, who under the new coach Dragan Dojčin in a completely new organizational setup competed in the third highest German division ProB .

In January 2016, Hartenstein left Artland Dragons and switched to Žalgiris Kaunas . Shortly before, he had helped the U18 team of the Lithuanian club win the qualifying tournament for the Euroleague Basketball Next Generation Tournament and was named the best player of the tournament.

In February 2016 he took part in the "Basketball Without Borders Global Camp" in Toronto , Canada , where he competed against some of the world's best players born in 97, 98 and 99.

At the end of September 2016 he played his first appearance for Žalgiris' men's team in the first Lithuanian league LKL , about a month later he made his debut in the Euroleague in a duel with Fenerbahçe . Hartenstein completed 29 season games for Kaunas, six of them on the starting line-up and scored 4.7 points and 3.5 rebounds on average. In the Euroleague he made five appearances. With Kaunas he became Lithuanian champions at the end of the season.

At the U18 European Championship in December 2016, he reached fourth place with Germany and, together with Kostja Mushidi, was the best point collector of the DBB team (14.7 points per game) and was appointed to the "first five of the tournament". In the spring of 2017, Hartenstein was appointed to a U19 world team that competed in the “Nike Hoop Summit” in Portland ( Oregon ) in April . This game against a team made up of US players of the same age has already been used in the past by his compatriots Dirk Nowitzki and Dennis Schröder to get into the notebooks of NBA talent scouts. Hartenstein finished the game with ten points. Also in April 2017, Hartenstein signed up for the 2017 NBA draft and was selected in 43rd place by the Houston Rockets.

In August 2017 he celebrated his debut in the German senior team in the EM preparatory game against Belgium.

In October 2017, Hartenstein signed a contract with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers , the Houston Rockets' farm team. During the 2017/18 season he made 38 appearances in the Vipers' shirt and averaged 9.5 points and 6.6 rebounds per match. During the summer break of 2018, he signed a partially guaranteed three-year contract with the Houston Rockets. On October 17, 2018, Hartenstein made his debut in the NBA in a 112: 131 defeat by Houston against New Orleans. With the Vipers, Hartenstein won the championship title in the NBA G League in spring 2019 and was named the best player in the final series. In the championship season he had scored an average of 19.5 points, 14.7 rebounds, 3.8 basket assists and two blocks in 26 missions for the Vipers.

After Hartenstein was not used for the Houston Rockets at the beginning of the 2019/20 game year, the Texans sent him back to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in the G-League at the beginning of November 2019. He was featured in 23 NBA season games before being removed from Houston's roster in late June 2020.
