Justin Bibbins (born January 23, 1996) is an American professional basketball player for Nanterre 92 of the LNB Pro A. He played college basketball for Long Beach State and Utah.

College career

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. He averaged 13.1 points and 4.6 assists per game as a junior. 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. In his first breakout game he had 23 points and made five 3-pointers in a victory against Ole Miss. He quickly became the team's primary scoring option. 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.
