Cairns sign Ayinde Ubaka, keep Kerry Williams

The Skytrans Cairns Taipans has shored up its floor generals for the 2010/11 National Basketball League season with the signing of American import Ayinde Ubaka and re-signing of Far North fan favourite Kerry Williams.

Ubaka, 25, a 195cm scoring point guard, was one of the import finds of the 2009-10 seasons, averaging 16.3 points and 4.2 assists a game shooting at 45% from the floor, 45% of three pointers and 90% from the free-throw line with the Gold Coast Blaze.
Great signing for the Taipans, exactly the sort of creative offensive player they were lacking last year.

You mean he wasn't asking $200k and likely to go to Europe? Go Dingo!

Actually Isaac, I thought he would sign with Melbourne with Ballinger...

Very good pickup by Cairns. I think this guy will also continue to improve as well.

another positive signing for cairns.

kerry williams is one of the best ball handlers 'in traffic' in the league,a great press buster.

the ubaka/williams combination could be lethal,although it may take some time.

good to see kerry isnt playing state league this season,it wasnt helping his development at all.

ubaka will average 20+ points this season and cairns will be almost unbeatable at home.
