“This has been a dream of mine since I was five years old when I was watching my dad play, so to play for the 36ers—I’m over the moon for the opportunity,” Kubank said.
“Tom has been really good this pre-season, he gives us something different both on and off the ball,” Wells said. “He is someone we are excited to move forward with, he has done an outstanding job.”
