Melbourne Tigers sign US import

By Daniel Eade on Wed, 07/07.2010

The Melbourne Tigers have completed their roster for the 2010/11 season with the signing of American point guard, TJ Campbell.

Listed at 5’9”, Campbell, 22, finished his collegiate career after playing two years with the Portland Pilots, averaging 12.4ppg and 5.2apg, while also connecting on 48% from outside the arc throughout his time there.

The addition of Campbell ends all chances that reigning MVP, Corey Williams, will end up with the Melbourne Tigers. Williams had rejected the Tigers offer but speculation was still alive that the two parties would eventually work things out and come to an agreement.

Campbell will become the seventh new face on the Tigers roster for the season ahead as Melbourne attempt to rebound from last season’s catastrophe that saw the team miss the playoffs after four consecutive years in the grand final series, winning two championships in 2006 and 2008.

Along with Campbell, Melbourne has also added Devendorf, Lucas Walker, Cameron Tragardh, Luke Nevill, Matt Burston and Wade Helliwell to the new look roster, while only Daryl Corletto, Tommy Greer and Bennie Lewis return from last season's squad.

Eade I think they need to

Eade I think they need to sign AJ Campbell - he has a better average with both Turbos AND The Mob... he's taller.. but perhaps not quite as good from long range!
