It's Markel Starks apparently he played at Georgetown and average 17 a game in his last season and played in Italy last season.

Georgetown must not have had many decent guards in his senior year as he avg 37mins out of 40mins!!!!

His shooting % were very good in his Junior year but dropped off in his senior year, probably due to fatigue.
He did avg 17pts + 4 assists for a quality US College program.

Not sure what the standard is for that league compares too.

Bring on more of them I say.

Can we also get some of those US commentators to come over, they would make the NBL very watchable?

Sounds like a super confident young man with a point to prove.

Looks like a nice pick up. Jump shot looks pretty killer

Only shot 27% from range last season but was pretty good in college from there.

So that's it? 15 posts is the sum total of interest in a Cairns import signing, from a 36r- centric base that were torched by Taipans last season.
You guys are numb.

Not sure what more you are after Greybuoy?
A bit of an unknown to most of us, with a you tube highlight tape,coming from Div 2 in Italy. I hope he fires up for the Snakes, but he's in the "See what happens" category at present.

I think it's up to the Cairns fans to generate the hype GB. Yeah, he's got an impressive college resume, but so do most imports. Looking forward to seeing what he can do.

We don't need to generate any more hype than to say that Fearney is actually smiling. That alone should scare a few other coaches :)
