nuggets sign wildcats young gun but mccullough goes

The Otago Nuggets have signed Perth Wildcats shooting guard Michael Harris, but star point guard Nikau McCullough has headed across the Tasman to pursue a spot in the Australian National Basketball League.

Harris (22) had limited opportunities for the Wildcats during the 2022-23 season. But Nuggets coach Brent Matehaere has been impressed by what he has seen from the young man.

"He is obviously super quick and he gets his shots off real fast, so he’s going to be an exciting player in the league," Matehaere said.
