Perry Ellis signs with Sydney Kings
"Calling Ellis a “dream recruit,” the team's release spoke of Ellis in absolutely glowing terms.
“Perry Ellis is a rare combination of very high character and very high performance wrapped into one guy,” said Jeff Van Groningen, the Kings’ managing director. “We know that Perry has aspirations to make the NBA and we know he is an elite talent. We support his quest in that regard and he will support ours as we try to reach the upper reaches of our own league. We couldn’t be happier that Perry has signed with the Sydney Kings.”
The Kings coach, Andrew Gaze, took things a step further.
“I have followed Perry’s career for a number of years and always enjoy watching Kansas play. As far back as this time last year Jeff and I spoke about how beneficial it would be if a guy ‘like’ Perry Ellis could join our team – so it’s fair to say we are thrilled that we have the man himself signing with us,” Gaze said. “His pedigree, versatility and basketball IQ will be key attributes that will assist us in strongly moving this program forward.”
