Grant Newell on his decision
“It was the perfect opportunity for me,” Newell said. “After seeing the way they play in practice, I like the way they use their threes and fours. They practically do the same thing, like picking and popping, handling the ball, shooting threes…for me that’s how my game is. I’m very versatile. I think it’s a perfect fit.”
