Gerald Robinson picked up by Cheshire

Gerald Robinson (202 cm, University of Tennessee at Martin´08) is returning to the BBL in the UK to play for Cheshire Phoenix. The last time the power forward was in the BBL was during a stint with the Plymouth Raiders in 2009 when he played eighteen games and averaged 8.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. The American with a Dutch passport has been playing in Holland for Stepco BS Weert recently. In fourteen games for the Eredivisie team he logged averages of 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.´

Phoenix coach John Lavery is shuffling his pack after a poor start to the 2013/2014 season that has resulted in his team returning just one victory against four losses. Gerald Robinson has been brought in to replace outgoing French forward Masse Doumbe (203 cm, Northwood Florida´12) and coach Lavery said:

He is a big unit and he will make himself felt around the league… We have needed a tough inside man for a while and such a player has proved elusive.

But Gerald knows what to expect in this league and he is an uncompromising forward. I wouldn’t fancy guarding him that’s for certain.
