Cairns sign import SF Torrey Craig
The Cairns Taipans today announced the signing of USC Upstate senior Torrey Craig to the club's first import spot for 2014-15.
The 198-centimetre small forward recently completed his senior year as mid-major NCAA programme USC Upstate’s career leader in rebounds (944) and second-ranked scorer (2,128 points).
23-year old Craig ranked amongst the best players in the Atlantic Sun Conference, posting senior figures of 16.7 points (2nd) and 7.0 rebounds (4th) and earning all-conference first team selection and Lou Henson All-America Team honours.
Fearne said Craig would arrive in Cairns with a point to prove for his first professional season.NBL announcement
