Reading Rockets are delighted to announce the signing of talented British forward, Ty Nsangu, for the upcoming 2024/25 season. Standing at an impressive 6’8″ (2.03m), Nsangu joins us from London Elite, where he made a significant impact in the National Basketball League (NBL) Division 1.
Nsangu, known for his rebounding prowess and all-around game, had a standout 2023/24 season with London Elite. In a recent game against Reading, he showcased his abilities with a remarkable double-double performance, recording 15 points and 17 rebounds while shooting an efficient 7-of-8 from the field.
Before his stint with London Elite, Nsangu honed his skills in various competitive environments, consistently demonstrating his value on the court. His versatility and work ethic have made him a coveted player in the British basketball scene.
Reading Rockets Head Coach, Samit Nuruzade, expressed enthusiasm about the new addition: “Ty’s rebounding ability and offensive versatility make him an excellent fit for our system. His experience and productivity in the NBL will be invaluable as we strive for success in the upcoming season.”
Nsangu’s signing underscores Reading Rockets’ commitment to building a competitive roster for the 2024/25 campaign. His ability to impact the game, particularly on the boards (averaging 3.2 offensive rebounds and 7.3 overall in recent performances), will significantly strengthen our frontcourt.
The addition of Nsangu follows his selection to the NBL Rebound All-Stars team earlier this year, further highlighting his status as one of the league’s top talents.
We extend a warm welcome to Ty Nsangu and look forward to seeing him in action for the Reading Rockets in the 2024/25 season.
