Elvisi Dusha Joins Scorchers in Surrey Return

Elvisi Dusha will remain in Surrey next season after joining league newcomers Surrey Scorchers for the 2015-16 season.

The Scorchers completed their takeover from Surrey United earlier in the summer, and Dusha had been their captain for the past two years.

The 21-year-old point guard has played in 67 BBL league games with career averages of 8.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

Dusha became the league’s youngest captain when he was given the role by United Head Coach Jack Majewski with the pair having worked together at London United.

He became a crowd favourite with the Surrey Sports Park crowd and continues to grow his game having gone up against vastly more experienced guards during his time in the BBL.

“Elvisi is a great talent,” said Scorchers Head Coach Creon Raftopoulos. “He has a passion for the game and is ready to continue learning and developing as a player.

“I want to sign players who will respect one and other and uphold their responsibilities on and off court. Elvisi is well liked within the Surrey crowd and I know that his signing will be popular with our fans.”

The Scorchers roster is close to completion with captain Tayo Ogedengbe signed up alongside US imports Nick Schlitzer, DJ Felder and Desmond Lee with Andreas Schreiber another newcomer.

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.
