Lions make first summer signing
Vince delighted with McNally capture
The Marshall Milton Keynes Lions have announced their first signing of the season, 6'4" American guard/forward, Carl McNally
The 22-year-old joins the Lions from Florida Tech in the United States where he has been playing for former BBL Champion coach, Billy Mims and led his team to a 20-8 record this season as Captain.
McNally has been stunning in his career at Florida Tech, he was the leading scorer in his Conference, the Sunshine State Conference, averaging 21 points per game and across his last six games a whopping 27 points a game.
McNally was voted to the All Conference First Team whilst also leading his team in steals.
"I am delighted to get Carl," said Lions Owner and Head Coach, Vince Macaulay.
"He comes recommended not only by Billy but also by Jim Brandon a previous BBL Championship winner, one thing those two have is a good eye for a player."
McNally averages 61% from the field, 83% from the free throw line and 46% from the three point line.
Macaulay added, "Carl's field goal percentage alerted me and when we saw tapes of him I was staggered, his rate from the floor was 19th in all of College basketball last year.
"I think he will fit into the different style of basketball we will be playing this season."
