Hoskin started his career in 2003 by signing a NBA free agent contract with the once Seattle Supersonics before being released and heading to Israel. During that Israeli season, with Hapoel Galil, he averaged 21.8ppg and 9.8rpg.
Hoskin went on from there to play for the older now defunct Russian teams Ural Great Perm and Dynamo Moscow Region from 2004 to 2007 and established himself as one of the best power forwards in Europe having ranked 2nd in scoring and 3rd in rebounding in the same Russian season and playing the likes of CSKA Moscow, BC Khimki and Unics Kazan. After Russia, Hoskin played in the Euroleague with Olympiacos and Cibona from years 2006 to 2008 before heading to the Chinese team he now coaches at Zhejiang.
“It is a true testament to God and my family that I was able to play for 16 years in spite of my severe injuries. I want to thank everyone even my competitors and doubters along the way. I am overwhelmed!” said Hoskin in a written statement.
