THE Castec Rural Pioneers have announced another strong player signing, with 193cm
Julian Pesava joining the club for the 2023 season.
The 27-year-old comes across from Western Australia where he played for the Joondalup Wolves in the NBL1 West competition.
He is an experienced campaigner who has played for Wayland Baptist University in the USA and professionally in Germany.
The NBL1 has seen Pesava shoot at over 40 per cent from the field and in the 2022 season averaged 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.
Pioneers head coach Richard Hill was pleased a player with Pesava’s experience had signed to be a Pioneer.
“Julian is a talented and versatile guard who will fit perfectly into our system,” he said.
“He has been an incredibly consistent performer over recent years in NBL1 West.
“He is a renowned three-point shooter and has the skill and athleticism to create shots for himself and his teammates.
I can’t wait to get to work with Julian and help him reach further goals in basketball.”
The Pioneers men and women are scheduled to play their first game in the 2023 NBL1 South season on the road on April 1 against the Sandringham Sabres.
