JIMBO CAPTURED BY CHESHIRE

Cheshire Phoenix have brought American centre Jimbo Lull to anchor their defence.

Winless in the BBL, the BBL outfit have released Eric Hamilton to make way for the newcomer.

Lull played collegiately at University of San Francisco Dons and then had a brief stint in Serbia, where he suited up for KK Sloboda Uzice on two occasions and averaged 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game on 62.5% shooting from the field.

Nix head coach Ben Thomas: “Jimbo is exactly what we need right now. He’s a real presence on the court and will help us in the paint at both ends of the floor.

“He’s a vocal player that will really anchor our team from that centre position.

“I know he is highly motivated to have a great season here with us.”
