Glasgow Rocks have welcomed Julius Van Sauers for the 2020-21 season.

The 6’8″ forward spent four years at Long Island University before joining Worcester Wolves last season, and now becomes the Rocks’ fifth signing for the forthcoming season.

“Julius is a very versatile player, able to face up bigger players and drive or back down smaller players in the post,” said player-coach Gareth Murray. “He’s very smart and a hard worker who always wants to play team basketball.

“I hope he uses this season to progress is game even further. I look forward to working with him this season.”

Julius added, “I am beyond grateful and excited to join Glasgow Rocks. I believe this is a great opportunity for me to continue growing as a player and I am looking forward to compete for a championship with a talented and growing organization.

Glasgow Rocks Owner, Duncan Smillie, reflected on the signing, “Our roster is coming together well for the new season and Julius looks like a great addition and able to play in a few positions. We look forward to welcoming him to our city and team.

“Gallo Acoustics will sponsor Julius next season. Colin Urie and his team wanted to make sure they tied him down the minute he signed, so we’d like to say a big thank you to Gallo.”
