Taipans sign Jawai for two years
Heard about this last week, but it's become official:
Big signing today in the NBL with the news that Nathan Jawai has signed with the Cairns Taipans for the next two seasons, beginning 2007/08.
Jawai is 6'9", 130kg and just 20 years old.
Word was that the Dragons went after him strongly, but the Taipans aren't strangers to flinging cash around and Cairns is Jawai's home territory.
Supposedly he's a big kid, but very quick and athletic and a bit of a power dunker.
Big signing for Cairns.
