Castec Rural Pioneers Welcome Julian Pesava to the 2023 Roster

The Castec Rural Pioneers are pleased to announce another strong new player signing with, 193cm Julian Pesava joining the Pioneers for the 2023 season from the Joondalup Wolves in the NBL1 West competition. 

Twenty-seven-year-old Pesava is an experienced player who has played for Wayland Baptist University in the USA and professionally in Germany.

The NBL1 has seen Pesava shoot at over 40% from the field and, in the 2022 season averaged 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game.

Castec Rural Pioneers Head Coach Richard Hill was pleased that a player with Pesava’s experience had signed to be a Pioneer.

“Julian is a talented and versatile guard who will fit perfectly into our system.

He has been an incredibly consistent performer over recent years in NBL1 West.  He is a renowned three-point shooter and has the skill and athleticism to create shots for himself and his teammates.  I can’t wait to get to work with Julian and help him reach further goals in basketball,” Hill said.

The Castec Rural Pioneers and OneFortyOne Pioneers are scheduled to play their first game in the 2023 NBL1 South season on the road on April 1 against the Sandringham Sabres.
