ROCKS HAVE CHANGING OF THE GUARD

By Mark Woods on January 21, 2015

Glasgow Rocks are rolling the dice to make a run at the BBL Trophy and Playoffs after a surprise shake-up of their roster.

Having passed on bringing back Gareth Murray, the Scottish outfit have freed American point guard JaJuan Smith and will bring in ex-Cheshire Phoenix playmaker Reggie Middleton, subject to visa clearance.

“It was a mutual agreement,” the departing Smith, who led the Rocks to the BBL Cup final last week, told MVP.

“A huge thank you to Glasgow Rocks and the fans. I’ve had a great time here and wish the team every success for the rest of the season.”

In a statement issued late on Wednesday, the Rocks claimed the veteran had been “released by the club due to misconduct related incidences.”

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
