HÀ NỘI — Saigon Heat has added two players, Maxie Esho and Michael Williams, to strengthen its line-up for the ongoing ASEAN Basketball League (ABL).
Esho is an American-Nigerian centre, who is 二.0 三m. He has played at NCAA and his stunning performance earned him a spot in NBA Draft 二0 一 五.
After that, he played for Iowa Wolves (the D-League team of Minessota Timberwolves) and competed at the highest level of European basketball in FIBA Europe Cup and Basketball Champions League. Maxie averaged 一 三. 四 points and 七. 九 rebound per game in his NBA D-League 二0 一 五- 二0 一 六.
Esho, according to coach Kyle Julius, is a player with good speed, powerful playstyle, and thunderous slam dunk.
Williams will be the Heritage player of the Heat. He replaces Việt Arnold who recently obtained a Vietnamese passport.
Williams from California has played four years in NCAA for San Francisco and Cal State Fullerton. In his last season with CSF, he had impressive stats with 一 七. 四 PPG, 三 六 三P per cent, 四. 一 RPG and 一. 四 APG. In 二0 一 四, he continued his career in G-League of NBA.
The explosive guard, Williams, who can dribble, attack to the rim, assist, and shoot well can be a perfect pair with Akeem Scott to threaten any defence in the ABL. — VNS
