Once again, had the joy of watching him play last year a fair few times.
This is a signing that Riders fans have every right to be excited about. As has been alluded to in the Riders press release, this guy is a hard-nosed, blue collar worker on D, and can shoot the 3 on a clip. Was clearly a vocal leader at the Vienna T-Wolves last year on both ends of the floor.
He’s gonna be the type of guy who does whatever job you need him to to get the W for sure, whether that’s reigning in the 3s or locking down the other teams best guard.
All of that and he doesn’t even take up a US permit slot.

Looks like a good recruit, but perhaps a bit odd bearing in mind Riders have already recruited two import guards and then have Lascelles and JWH off the bench. But they certainly won't be short of cover at guard, and maybe the Namon Wright can also play the 3?
As usual, Leicester are building a formidable team.

JWH plays more as a small forward than guard. |

One is a PG And MRF is correct - JWH doesn't play guard for us Lascelles will get more minutes as back up point guard than he did last season based on the squad so far Add Gamble in and we've got a solid 10 players. |

He's quick to release his 3 pointers. Impressive. |

Any more expected at Leicester?
They appear to have gone quiet after Joe Scott.
By my reckoning they have one import slot left and room for another EU player - or of course could blow it all on a Royals-style marquee UK signing.

I'm still on tenterhooks about whether Harrison Gamble will re-sign... |

That's one of the reasons I said I don't know its significance. Is it real, even? Goodness knows. We'll see, shortly, I guess.

Maybe Rob has decided that he will need to fill two import slots to counter the Eagles’ quality point guards?
Or maybe he has a British granny?

Eurobasket list him as a guard rather than a point guard.
