When they return tomorrow night against the Manawatu Jets, they will be wearing a new strip, designed by Paul Sides of Better Creative in Dunedin, of mainly blue. The result is more Kiwi players getting an opportunity to play in what should be an even league. The Auckland Huskies have arguably the toughest match-up in the league in mobile big man Tohi Smith-Milner. Timmins, who is from Dunedin, returns after four years of high-level college basketball and could be the league’s best inside big man. The Nelson Giants are similarly strong inside with duo Mika Vukona and Mike Karena.
