NBL News this week
Quick round up for forum readers...
Breakers have signed Mika Vukona and are believed to have made offers to Brendon Polyblank and Daniel Green (an Australian guy playing Div 2 in the US I think). They're also reported to be keeping an eye on Arthur Trousdell and Everard Barrett.
The NBL site has interviewed Martin Cattalini about his hopes for Cairns in the 2005/06 NBL season. "I definitely still have the hunger and the desire to get out there..." Ominous sign from a passionate player.
Outside the NBL, David Andersen has led his Moscow-based team to its third straight Russian title. He had 23 and 7 in the final. He's expected to re-sign with the team after an off-season spent in Australia preparing for the Commonwealth Games and World Champs.
Matt Nielsen has signed in Lithuania for the year to come. He has recently played in Greece.
Damon Lowery has been picked up by the Crocs to replace injured kid Adam Quick.
Razors are looking at taking an import from the NZ league -- 6'6" forward, Greg Lewis. Lewis had his college career with Winthrop, once managing 15 and 7 in 2002 against a Duke team that sported Mike Dunleavy (18 points, 6 boards), Carlos Boozer (19 and 6), and a few other recognisable names (D Jones, N Horvath, C Duhon, J Williams, D Ewing, A Buckner...). Lewis' team got thoroughly drilled and he was the only one to do any damage. Lewis at the time was noted as Big South Conference Player of the Year.
Chris Anstey has signed a two year with the Melbourne Tigers who have unsuccessfully tried to lure a number of high-calibre NBL players to their roster. I think the official announcement is due on Tuesday.
No confirmation that Cortez Groves has signed with the Hawks, though the rumour is that he's signed.
No news on the Farley front with Adelaide. They'll need to do something though because I'm sure that Wethers will be wanted by the Pirates if the Sixers go with Farley or take too long to decide. I guess we'll see.
