Breakers announce signing of Brian Wethers
It's been weeks since the word got out, but the NZ Breakers have finally announced the signing of 04/05 NBL MVP Brian Wethers.
That gives the Breakers a line-up along these lines: Henare, Olson, Wethers, Forman, Melzer, Vukona, Pepper and Behrendorff. They're looking at an Australian PG.
Wethers had a kind word for Oscar too:
"I'm confident I can maintain the form I showed and I'm simply keen to work hard, understand the team's systems and get into good practice habits."Full article
He said he followed the Breakers' progress last season and felt there was an opportunity for him and the team to make an impact.
"We definitely have the coaching staff and the players to take that step forward. I checked out the roster before signing and I like what we have, especially with a guy like Oscar Forman coming into the mix. It's an exciting time."
Looking competitive IMO. Having two quality imports, Olson and Pepper to draw defense isn't going to hurt Oscar's chances of setting up camp on the perimeter. Andrej Lemanis seems to agree:
"(Wethers') ability to put points on the board is an obvious asset, but his presence will also free up other players, both inside and on the perimeter."Good to get a former MVP back in the league.
