Chicago born Christian Peevy to become a Pioneer

The Castec Rural Pioneers are excited to announce the signing of 201 cm US import Christian Peevy for the 2024 season.

Twenty-five-year-old Peevy played 60 games for the Lynn Fighting Knights, averaging 10.07 points per game in US College Basketball. Most recently, Christian has been playing for KK Alkar in Croatia, where he has averaged 12 points per game, shooting 54.1% from the floor.

The Castec Rural Pioneers Head Coach, Richard Hill is delighted with the signing of Peevy.

“Christian is a versatile and gifted athlete whose size and skillset enables him to play on the wing or as a stretch four.

We were very close to signing Christian last season, but he opted to play in Croatia where he had a very good season averaging 12 points and 5 rebounds showing his versatility at both ends of the floor.

I believe he will be a perfect fit in our system and look forward to getting to work with him when he arrives in February.” Hill said.

The Castec Rural Pioneers and OneFortyOne Pioneers are scheduled to play their first game in the 2024 NBL1 South season against Sandringham Sabres on 06 April 2024. Their first home game at Wulanda will be against Frankston Blues on Saturday 13 April.
