Former Coastal Carolina standout Jack Leasure is three games into his season of professional basketball in New Zealand.
So far, so good.
Last game: Leasure had 30 points and five assists while going 7-8 from the 3-point line - all in a 20-point win. He said the team is 1-2 so far, but "our only losses were to the top two teams and they were close."
Here in Myrtle Beach, we're getting psyched for the summer. New Zealand? Leasure said "[The] weather is beautiful, but it is starting to get more Fall-like."
I asked Leasure, who played last season in Austria, to compare it to New Zealand and he said it's "very similar" but the "local players are better here."
He said his next game is Saturday. The season goes into June.
