SAINT JOHN, N.B. – The Saint John Mill Rats, presented by Rogers, are pleased to announce the return of 6'6” long-range bomber, Antonio Burks, to the roster for the 2012-13 season.
Burks was a fan favourite for his personality off the court and his deadly three-point shooting on.
A midseason acquisition last year, Burks contributed 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game on 42 per cent shooting from behind the arc. His hot streak against Oshawa on Feb. 23 all but locked in Saint John for the post-season when he drained six of seven three-pointers in the first half. That game he led all scorers at the half with 20 points.
The Saint John Mill Rats open training camp on Oct. 20. The list of players signed by the Mill Rats for training camp is now 14:
– Anthony Anderson, 5'11” guard;
– Jerice Crouch, 6'0” guard;
– Darin Mency 6'2” guard;
– Mike Anderson, 6'4” guard;
