Quinton Hosley joins Real Madrid after several successful years of college basketball and a stint in Turkey. The American forward has three-point shooting capability, is an excellent rebounder, and nearly unstoppable in transition.

Hosley played high school ball at Abraham Lincoln High in Harlem, New York. In 2002/03 he enrolled at Lamar Community College, where he averaged 18.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg, and 2.4 spg as a freshman and 20 ppg, 10 rpg, 4.6 apg, and 2.1 spg as a sophomore.

In 2005/06 Hosley enrolled at Fresno State as a junior, where he averaged 18.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2.1 spg, and 35 mpg. He led the Bulldogs in scoring and the Western Athletic Conference in steals before being named to the Second Team All-WAC and WAC All-Newcomer Team. His number's dipped during his senior year, when he averaged 13.9 ppg, 8.9 rpg, and 33 mpg.

Following his senior year, the Harlem native signed on with Pinar Kariskaya in Turkey, where he was named MVP of the competition after his rookie year having averaged league bests 23.3 ppg and 11.3 rpg. In the first round of the playoffs against Efes Pilsen, Hosley averaged 20.75 ppg.

According to Joan Plaza, Quinton Hosley is "a very technical, athletic forward who can also play as a three or even a four-man. He can shoot, he can rebound, and he can intimidate. What's more, he's young and eager to learn."
