Maitland sign NCAA star Kevin Warren

The NBL1 East Maitland Mustangs have announced college star Kevin Warren for their 2023 squad. 

Apart of the champion Chico Wildcats team in the NCAA Championship Tournament - West Regional, the 6’4 two-way guard will be a formidable force in the NBL1 East this coming season. In his last season in college, Warren averaged 12.3 points and 5.6 rebounds. 

Maitland men’s head coach Luke Boyle explained what fans should expect from Warren in his first Development League season. 

“Kevin is an athletic guard who plays up the floor defensively and can finish inside and out. When we look at recruiting, we do our homework and only deal with people we trust,” he said.

“Kevin came recommended by a few people we trust, one of those was Isaiah Ellis who played with him. It’s extremely important guys fit our culture, have the right attitude and have come from winning programs. Kevin ticked all the boxes.”

After playing in the States, Warren is excited to start the next stage of his career in Australia.

"I'm just super excited to start my professional career in a talented league like the NBL1 and with an overall great team and program in Maitland,” he said. 

“Look forward to getting with the coaches and team and starting the journey to compete for a championship and win games with a great group of guys.”
