ROCKS SNARE BOBAN AS ASH DROPS
Glasgow Rocks have handed rookie centre Boban Jacdomni a shot in the BBL.
The 24-year-old arrives at the Emirates Arena from Southern Mississippi University where he averaged seven points per game last season.
And Rocks coach Gareth Murray reckons his gamble on the Londoner can pay off for his revamped squad.
“He just completed four years of college basketball, the last two being at Southern Mississippi,†he said. “He will bring some more depth inside and continue to develop his all round game.
“Now we have a prospective start date for the league, hopefully in the next few weeks we can get back to action and start preparing for the season. I am excited to start working with all the young talent we have signed.”
American duo Dante Thorpe and Terrell Vinson will not be returning to Glasgow, Murray confirmed.
Ash falls in Plymouth
Plymouth Raiders have signed Great Britain forward Ashley Hamilton.
As MVP first revealed, the Londoner had been in extended talks with Paul James’ side and re-joins a clutch of former team-mates at the now-defunct London City Royals, including Andrew Lawrence and Will Neighbour.
James said: “Ashley has been one of the best players in the BBL for the past couple of years and we are extremely excited that we have been able to pen him for the coming season. Signing GB International Ashley, further underlines our intention to be one of the top clubs in the country.
“He has a wealth of experience having played all over Europe at a high level and we look forward to using his experience and talent to help Plymouth Raiders to success. We are extremely excited by this signing and look forward to getting started. “
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.
