The Chiba Jets, looking to snap a 14-game losing streak, are on the verge of signing former bj-league MVP Justin Burrell, a basketball insider told The Japan Times on Tuesday evening.
The Jets (4-14) are in their first season in the NBL since defecting from the bj-league.
Burrell, a power forward, played for current Chiba Jets head coach Reggie Geary during the 2011-12 season when both men were a part of the Yokohama B-Corsairs' inaugural season. Burrell was the league MVP that season, leading Yokohama to the Final Four and posting averages of 18.7 points and 9.9 rebounds.
