Big Wraps On Nisbet
Former Tall Black and New Zealand Breakers legend Paul Henare believes young Canterbury basketballer Shou Nisbet is a player worth watching in the coming years.
Henare first spotted 15-year-old Nisbet at the New Zealand under- 17 men's trials in Auckland earlier this year, and said the Burnside High School pupil caught his eye straight away.
He heaped praised on Nisbet and said elements of his play were reminiscent of Tall Black and Breakers star Thomas Abercrombie.
"When I first saw him, the way he moves around the court, he reminded me of Tom Abercrombie. Not in terms of the jumping ability, but his lateral quickness was good and he's got speed. I really like him," Henare said.
Nisbet's burgeoning basketball career has received another fillip, with selection for the Asia Pacific Team Camp in China from June 13-16, which is presented by Nike and the NBA.
