Friday the 26th September sees the start of the BBL season. London Lions travel to Surrey to take on Surrey United in their first fixture.
There have been a lot of changes this off season for the Lions with new signings being announced on a regular basis. I interviewed coach Vince Macualay a few weeks back about the start of the season and what the Lions fans can expect. He said the Lions will play "full court" Basketball for longer periods of the games this season.
The inclusion of Zaire Taylor for me is the biggest signing. He gives the Lions the cutting edge and can put up big points as well as create openings for the other guys. I was at the press conference for the signing of Drew Sullivan and could see how much it meant to the club Drew is very experienced and after his success at Leicester and Newcastle, it will give the Lions a big presence in the changing room as well as the court.
I will be reporting on the Lions games for East London Radio as well as doing some articles for London 24. Keep in the loop by following my blog on the Lions for what we hope it a successful season!
