 Plymouth beat a host of other clubs to secure Lasker's signature |
Guard Drew Lasker has ended speculation about his future by signing a new one year contract with Plymouth Raiders. The 25-year old BBL All-Star from Texas averaged 19 points per game last season and finished third in the BBL coaches' Player of the Year poll. "This is a massive signing for us," said Raiders head coach Gary Stronach. "European teams went after him hard in the off season. But he's decided to return to Plymouth and I couldn't be happier," he added. Lasker also averaged over five rebounds and nearly two steals in every BBL game he played for Plymouth last year and was the club's top scorer with 589 points.  | We were waiting for his contract to come through on the fax machine and there's been a lot of smiles around the office since it came through yesterday |
The Raiders have now appointed their full quota of three foreign players with Lasker joining fellow Americans Terrence Durham and DeAntoinne Beasley for the upcoming season. "His value to the team can't be overstated," said Raiders chief executive Dave Briggs. "We were waiting for his contract to come through on the fax machine and there's been a lot of smiles around the office since it came through yesterday."
