Jersey Express Owner, Marsha Blount stated ‘I am truly proud and happy for this young man.  He has all the attributes, to make a career overseas.  He has the size, athletic ability, and the basketball IQ to play anywhere.  Bill is a versatile power player, who runs the floor well, and can finish with contact.  He’s a fierce competitor, who’s hungry…that makes him an asset to any organization!  We’ll miss him, and wish him success with this wonderful opportunity.  With so much talent on this year’s team, my next thought is who’s next’.
