Don't know anything about him but good he can play tomorrow. Riders have moved quickly to bolster the squad.

Probably not one that will turn too many heads but looks a decent add. Highly rated coming out of high school. Chose Northwestern, for academic reasons, over a number of more high profile basketball programs, and had a pretty promising freshman year playing in a top NCAA1 conference. Had season ending knee surgery not long into his sophomore year and his college career rather petered out from there. Began this season in NM1 and was doing well enough before they stopped playing.
Said in the Fraser thread I felt we needed one more senior player. Don't think we needed to be overly particular about what type of player that ninth guy was but a forward with good size and the ability to shoot threes would probably have been top of the wish list. Might be a sneakily good signing. Might just be so-so. Definitely ought to be capable of giving us a useful 15 minutes or so off the bench.
Some highlights of his relatively short stint in France...

If he's as good as his brother then this is a very decent pickup to help bolster an already strong roster.
I doubt it's the last addition we'll see to teams rosters this season as well. Worcester's Americans are arriving any day now, London are rumoured to be making changes and I believe there's still more to come at Plymouth as well.
Going to be a fascinating season. With the games packed in like they will be more players are going to get more minutes and it could be that so much pressure on players will lead to more injuries particularly muscle injuries which will cause them to miss a game or two.
Depth and quality of bench will be crucial.

Interesting last line from Uncle Jeff. Think Eagles have got their shortest bench for quite a while, last game 5 starters played 30+ minutes with little input from others. Without the two vets there isn't too much there.
