Selvey Returns to Leopards
ESSEX HERTS LEOPARDS coach Jon Burnell has announced his first signing for the 2005/06 season, with American centre Troy Selvey returning to the club. The 6' 7" from Sacramento joined the Big Cats from fellow EBL Division One side Coventry Crusaders in mid-January, and was an immediate hit with Burnell's team. He either led, or jointly led, Leopards scoring in four of his first five games, and has proved to be one of the EBL's top big-men. He led the league in blocked shots, averaging two per game, and also finished seventh in rebounding with 9.14 per game. Burnell was pleased that Selvey had agreed to return to the Big Cats: "I think Troy's proved that he's one of the best big men in the league, and It's great that he's returning" he said."There are not many big men of Troy's caliber in the EBL, and him returning is a good starting point for next season."
