36ers sign Jarrid Frye as 2nd Import
The Adelaide 36ers have finalised their roster for the 2013/14 NBL season, signing American import, Jarrid Frye.
Frye, 28, was born in New York and played for Sacred Heart University averaging 13.3ppg at 48% with 5 rebounds per game in his senior year. Jarrid has had two stints in Macedonia, played with the Kentucky Bisons in the US ABA and last season starred for Stjarnan in Iceland, averaging 22.8ppg at 55% with 7.9 rebounds per game and 4.5 assists.
The 196cm small forward will most likely join the team in China from August 14-24 as the 36ers play 6 games in an invitational tournament.
New 36ers head coach Joey Wright was delighted to have locked away the final piece of the puzzle "I believe Jarrid is the exact type of player we were looking for to fill the last spot on the roster. Not only does he give us balance, he has a game that the fans will love watching."
“We've put together a solid group, however the hard work begins now in pre-season.” said Wright.
The 36ers have put together a formidable back-court with Adam Gibson, Gary Ervin, Jason Cadee & Brendan Teys. Jarrid Frye and Mitch Creek will share the small forward’s role and have four talented big guys Luke Schenscher, Daniel Johnson, BJ Anthony and the versatile Anthony Petrie.
Pre-season training starts at the Adelaide Arena on July 29 at 10am.
China Invitational Tournament August 14-24.
