Saint John Riptide News Release
(Saint John, NB): The Saint John Mill Rats are preparing for war and are excited to announce the return of All Star forward Kenny Jones aka 'The Big Ticket' to the Port City for the 2014-15 season, pending FIBA clearance.
The 6'6 Jones averaged 22.7 points 8.4 rebounds on 59% field percentage while scoring double figures in all 17 games he played for the Mill Rats in 2012-13.
Last season, Jones took his talents to Argentina where he led his team to the finals and was named Import Player of the Year, Forward of the Year, and Most Valuable Player of the Year while posting 20 points and 7 rebounds per game average on 67% shooting from the floor.
The 30 year old power forward is coming back to the Mill Rats for one reason: to win a championship this season. "I love the team that the organization here is putting together, and I'm looking forward to re-joining Double A (Anthony Anderson) to do our best to win it this season."
"Kenny Jones is player who is tough as nails, dives on the floor, and physically backs down to no one," said Mill Rats President & General Manager Ian McCarthy. "He embodies the blue collar, hard work ethic of our City and the fans are no doubt looking forward to his return."
