Blaze sign Jason Crowe, complete roster

The Gold Coast Blaze have signed NZ NBL import Jason Crowe. Crowe has been playing with the Waikato Pistons alongside Pero Cameron.

The New Zealand Breakers were also loosely interested but it seems that they had no fun dealing with Crowe's agent - the same agent that represents Mike Chappell - and weren't convinced by his ability to run the point.

Crowe played predominantly shooting guard in NZ but would play the point for the Blaze.

I think that wraps up the Gold Coast roster for the coming season?

Crowe/Joyce
Harvey/Demos
Hawkins/Campbell
Cameron/Macgregor
Melmeth/Frank

Meanwhile, I saw it mentioned somewhere that the Breakers might be considering EJ Rowland who played for Sydney and Townsville last season.

IMO that is a poor lineup..
They might win 2 games, and we don't play them first, so there goes one guaranteed win..

Certainly no worse than the Pigs team of last season. Should win a few at least.

Yeah not the worst but can't see them coming anywhere near the top 5 or 6.

The Breakers offered Crowe $60,000. Crowe has played in the NBA of course Gold Coast offered more than that to get the best player in the NZNBl this season.

i think the roster will be consistent and that they will make the finals. they will definately beat the pigs, breakers, hawks, slingers .. and will create upsets. the team is big and strong, and they have a coach who is known to get the better out of former 'rejects'.

That team is average.

Copeland would fit into that team nicely!

Crowe is the man- he played with the LA Clippers..i am so amazed at how and why he even came to the NZNBL in the first place...He could be playing in europe somewhere making thousands weekly...whereas imports in the NZNBL only get 500 buks,a car and accomodation a week..not very much!
