His rare combination of multi-positional defence, rebounding strength and perimeter shooting makes him a seamless fit for new Breakers head coach Gordon Herbert’s high-intensity system.
“Josiah-Jordan James is the exact type of import we wanted to bring into our system for NBL27,” BNZ Breakers president of basketball operations Dillon Boucher said.
“He plays with immense physical toughness, defends multiple positions at an elite level, has a sweet shooting touch and brings high-level European and collegiate experience.”
The Breakers have one remaining import slot.
Breakers squad: Parker Jackson-Cartwright, DJ Vasiljevic, Izayah Le’afa, Preston Le Gassick, Kouat Noi, Sam Mennenga, Carlin Davison, Reuben Te Rangi, Anzac Rissetto, Josiah-Jordan James.
