STERLING DAVIS: "We're in it to win it"

This is the Glasgow Rocks BIG BBL PREVIEW!

It was an interesting season last year with yet another final defeat and an impressive league season spearheaded by GB co-captain Kieron Achara.

With solid additions the Rocks under Sterling Davis who exudes consistency north of the border.

Speaking ahead of the new season Davis was keen to point out that finals are not enough.

He said: "It's the second year in a row we've been in a final, but our aim is to win a trophy, I want to win a trophy.

"We're not ready just yet (speaking yesterday) but we've got a few days just to finish off some things and we'll be good to go.

"We've bought in a few new players and they all look good in training, we're looking forward to gameday."

Davis is also expecting another unpredictable season across the league with a number of teams on the up.

He continued: "The [LONDON] Lions were one of the favourites last season and it took them a lot longer to get going and made it to the finals, so it'd difficult to predict.

"There's been a lot of coaching changes across the league but many of the coaches that have come in have managed in the BBL before so I don't think they'll find it difficult."
