NBL MVP Gary Ervin will be taking his talents to Ukraine for season 2011-12.
The 27 year old guard from Brooklyn, New York announced yesterday that he has signed to play with BC Kyiv.
Although terms of the deal have not been released, it’s likely his new salary will be a significant improvement on what was offered in Wollongong, owning to the teams recent financial struggles.
Ervin’s new team finished the season in 4th place in the Ukrainian SuperLeague and were swept 3-0 by eventual league runners ups BC Budivelnik in the semi-finals.
The league is celebrating its 20th season in 2012 with Ervin sure to make a big impact on the local stage.
Ervin’s departure leaves a big roster hole to fill for the Wollongong Hawks, with both international roster slots now open.
The Hawks will no doubt aim to secure an explosive scorer to fill Ervin’s scoring shoes.
Aside from the loss of Ervin, the team maintains the same roster that lead them to a 5th placed 15-13 record in season 2010-11.
