Breakers sign import DJ Newbill

The NZ Breakers today confirmed their tenth fulltime roster player, with the announcement of a second import in the shape of American combo-guard DJ Newbill, leaving just one roster spot and the development unit (3) to be confirmed.

Newbill is a graduate of Strawberry Mansion in Philadelphia, and played for Southern Miss and then Penn State - a transfer so he could be closer to family back home in Philadelphia. Newbill averaged over 20 points a game in his senior year and featured strongly in other statistics such as assists, rebounds and steals with his all-round game.

Another average looking import. So far only Leslie and Roberts are the only imports I go "I'd like to see him play".

Derek Cooke also worth watching

Just on athleticism, the incoming crop of NBL imports seem to have improved several notches compared to previous seasons. We've had the odd 'freak' every now and then but this year I counted at least 5 newcomers that can be considered exceptional.

Roberts if as healthy as before would top it with at least 45" max vert. Leslie next at 40", Walker 39", Cooke jr and Ellis not too shabby at 36". The wingspans of some of these guys are exceptional as well. Roberts has a 7 ft wingspan and Leslie 6'10" wingspan for a 6'4" guard!
