BIO: Awvee Storey was born in Chicago, Illinois (USA).
NBL EXPERIENCE
Awvee Storey made his NBL debut with the New Zealand Breakers at 32 years of age. He scored four points in his first game.
Having achieved their first-ever playoff appearance the season prior, coach Andrej Lemanis returned with the majority of Breakers roster intact, losing only Phill Jones (to Cairns) and Tim Behrendorff (to Wollongong). Having played with one import last season, Rick Rickert, the Breakers added Dave Thomas (via Cairns) to add veteran leadership to the club but prior to the season starting, he was forced to retire from playing in the NBL due to injury. Former NBA talent Awvee Storey was then signed as his replacement.
“We expect Awvee to help us defensively, on the boards and with overall toughness,” Lemanis said when Storey’s signing was announced.
“We expect him to fit in with our team culture of doing what it takes to make the team better.
Development player Thomas Abercrombie was also elevated to the full squad to finalise the roster.
New Zealand struggled through the first half of the season, mainly due to missing their leading scorer Kirk Penney (23.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists) due to a back injury that saw him sidelined for nine games. In addition to this, Storey (7.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 0.8 assists) fell well short of expectations and was released after nine games with the club stating “things weren’t working out”. John Rillie (4.3 points and 1.6 rebounds), who had been released by Townsville the season prior, signed with the club as a interim replacement and appeared in 12 games.
New Zealand was then boosted by the midseason addition of import Kevin Braswell (9.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 2.3 steals), who played in the Breakers final seven games, winning the last six in a row.
New Zealand’s late-season surge proved to be in vain, as the Breakers missed the playoffs during one of the closest NBL seasons of all-time. Despite New Zealand being only two games behind league leaders Perth, they would miss the playoffs and finish in fifth place (15-13). Abercrombie, who missed four games at the end of the season with an ankle injury, would average 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.2 assists for the season.
Awvee Storey played one season in the NBL. He averaged 7.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 9 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.
