Justin Bibbins (born January 23, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for Dinamo Sassari of the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA). He played college basketball for Long Beach State and Utah.
Bibbins was recruited by Utah out of high school, but the Utes did not have a scholarship available for him by the time he was to join the squad. Instead, Bibbins enrolled at Long Beach State and was twice named All-Conference. [1] He averaged 13.1 points and 4.6 assists per game as a junior. [2] After graduating from Long Beach State, Bibbins decided to transfer to Utah for his final season of eligibility. He was named team captain despite being new to the program.

As a senior at Utah, Bibbins averaged 14.8 points and 4.7 assists per game, hitting 93 three-pointers, the second-highest single-season mark in Utes history. He was named to the First-team All-Pac-12 and led the team to a 23-win season and an appearance in the NIT championship game. [3]
Bibbins worked out for several NBA teams in preparation for the 2018 NBA draft and said he draws inspiration from former Utah player Kyle Kuzma. [4] On August 15, 2018, Bibbins signed with SKS Starogard Gdański of the Polish Basketball League. [5]
