Great 8 Reserves
Great 8 Reserves are all veterans with battle scars, all aged 31 and above, from several other teams not named NEWBak Ku Teh Kings and KKTAN.
PG Theodore Thao - Final Fantasy XIII
Stats: 45.8mpg, 35.7ppg, 45.5 FG%, 6.2rpg, 3.5apg
Theodore Thao is the youngest at age 31, being bought for $299 000 by a rebuilding Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy XIII fans didnt know what to expect when the GM has to travel abroad for a long while and selling off his entire team. However, the GM, controlling the team expertly overseas, came back and did a quick rebuild, saw some skill left in Theodore and purchased him and that move turned out to be a good one. Early on, coupled with returning league II.1 C Mo Jian Ting, Theodore still kept Final Fantasy XIII in the run for a playoff berth with his expert scoring ability. Fans quickly liked the popular guard and was promptly voted in to the all-star squad, also adding a scoring spark to the Great 8 all-star team.
SG Zhuang Shirong - Sugar Ray
Stats: 35.3mpg, 20.2ppg, 45.5 FG%, 3.8rpg, 3.0apg
Not-so-young but still speedy SG Zhuang Shirong was brought to Sugar Ray with $262 300 in season 20. He has been the top scorer of Sugar Ray since he joined the team and the team's go to guy and the most plays being set up for during offence. Having yet to score in single digits this season, Shirong is extremely capable of scoring from any spot. Sugar Ray fans are extremely pleased with the first of their 2 all-stars in their young roster. Watch for Shirong's scoring prowess during the all-star game, even at times blowing by double teams scoring the tough jumper.
SF Tariq Zuabi - Lionheart Jaguar
Stats: 26.9mpg, 14.7ppg, 50.8 FG%, 6.4rpg, 1.4spg
6'7" veteran SF, Tariq Zuabi was bought by Lionheart Jaguar in season 21 for a very lucky price of $77 777, explaining his favourite number and jersey number (well 7 of course!). Started off as a reserve early in the season, Tariq Zuabi eventually earned his starting spot after his scoring skyrocketed and averaging nearly..... well 7 rebounds during his time as a starter. Fans saw the 107% effort that Tariq puts in every night and voted him into the all-star team. He will use his veteran leadership and skills to deal against the younger players during the game itself. We will be holding a big banner with lots of 7s to cheer for Tariq.
PF Angelo Giorgi - Sugar Ray
Stats: 29.8mpg, 15.1ppg, 53.5 FG%, 10.9rpg, 2.9apg
The oldest of the Great 8 reserves, Angelo Giorgi, was bought with an auspicious amount of $123 456 in season 21 and has definitely brought luck and most importantly skill in the PF position to Sugar Ray. Team up with his war buddy, Zhuang Shirong, Angelo Giorgi has been playing very consistently, doing his best to bring back the win for Sugar Ray fans. He does average a double double, no easy feat in a competitive league like league II.1. This is his 1st all-star nod in league II.1 and be sure that he will make the full use of it, showing off his skills in what might be one of the last few all-star game he gets to play with his old age. Angelo also brings an experience voice in the locker room for Sugar Ray and that will happen during the all-star game too.
C Xosé Udias - Lionheart Jaguar
Stats: 35.5mpg, 18.5ppg, 58.9FG%, 11.0rpg, 2.9apg
Lionheart Jaguar went shopping for players in season 21 and bought 33 year old 6'8" veteran Xosé Udias at $214 200. Since then, Xosé Udias has given Jaguars a solid scoring option, as he leads the team in scoring and is a close 2nd in rebounding just behind Rubens Toledo. Teaming up with all-star reserve Tariq Zuabi, Xosé Udias has given the Jaguars a boost this season and playoff hopes. Even though he is undersized at 6'8", Xosé Udias uses his quickness and his athleticism to overcome other defending centers who towers over him.
