American Iona College star Rickey McGill becomes the latest addition to Plymouth Raiders\u2019 roster as the Summer recruitment drive charges through the gears<\/p>\n
McGill, the 6\u2019 2\u201d Point Guard made his pro debut for Athens based Panionios last season in Greece\u2019s top tier, HEBA A1.<\/p>\n
Contributing on average 8 points per game, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, McGill has demonstrated his talents in one of Europe\u2019s toughest leagues and is raring to go in the BBL.<\/p>\n
During Summer 2019, he joined NBA side Sacramento Kings for their pre-draft workouts where he subsequently caught the eye of European teams.<\/p>\n
23 year old Rickey added: ” Im super excited to have signed for the Raiders and can’t wait to get on the court and represent the city of Plymouth. Coach has told me great things about the fans and city, so I am looking forward to hopefully entertaining them and bringing success to this club. I\u2019m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to get started!”<\/p>\n
Raiders Head Coach Paul James:<\/p>\n
I am very happy with the signing of Rickey McGill. He is a guard who comes to us having played his rookie season for Panionios Athens in the very tough Greek A1 league. He is a tremendously quick and dynamic player who can score in many ways as well as being a great facilitator of the ball. He plays with great intelligence and attitude and we are very pleased to have been able to sign him for the coming season. He is a great addition to our team and we\u2019re sure he will excel and contribute greatly to our season\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
