Belizean Baller Devin Daly From Denmark
posted (May 4, 2018)
The Civic Center opened up on Monday to a full house, actually it was standing room only. But, tonight will be the true test of what kind of numbers it can pull without the excitement of an opening night for the most expensive building in Belize's history.

It's the opening night of the playoffs for the Elite Basketball League and there is a marquee name to get fans into the seats. The Belize Hurricanes and Dangriga Dream Ballers will be battling it out in the first game of their matchup. Both teams have an impressive lineup but the Hurricanes have brought in Devin Daly - who has been playing in the top league in Denmark - where he won a championship last year. He told us he is hungry to win and to re-introduce himself to fans.

Reporter
"So Belize basketball, what are you here to offer?"

Devin Daly, Belize Hurricanes
"You know just try my best to raise the level and try my best to fit in with the team and bring back a championship. The Hurricanes have a great team already and I am just here to add whatever the team needs."

Reporter
"I am sure that you have watched the Hurricanes play before so what do you think you can offer to make the team play better?"

Devin Daly
"I feel like I can offer some outside shooting. The team has a lot of guys that could penetrate. Tyson and Biggs down low so I feel like the only spot I see that the team could have a spot for me is the outside position and also defence."

Reporter
"How do you think your first game is going to go?"

Devin Daly
"Honestly offensively I can't really dictate if the shots will drop. I am well prepared because I have so many shots underneath my belt already throughout the season in Denmark but I can tell you that defensively maximum effort. I won't necessarily give up offensively, rebound, diving for loose balls just bringing intensity on defence and offence will come."

The game starts tonight at 9:00. The series is best of three.
