Fubon Braves Sign American Player Jamorko Pickett

The Fubon Braves have officially announced the signing of American player Jamorko Pickett, adding a new force to their lineup for the upcoming season. Pickett, 28, stands at 206 cm and is known for his agile play and excellent outside shooting skills.

Pickett began his professional basketball career in 2021, with previous stints in the NBA G League, Puerto Rico, Turkey, Canada, and Japan. Last season, he played for the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins in Japan's B.League, where he appeared in 59 games, averaging 13.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1 steal per game. His three-point shooting accuracy stood at 35.1%, showcasing consistent long-range firepower and mobility.

Pickett performed very well last season in Japan's B.League, especially with his outside shooting ability. His mobility at the three and four positions is exactly what our team currently lacks. We have been looking for a stable outside shooter with scoring productivity, and Pickett is still relatively young. I am very much looking forward to his addition bringing greater firepower to our offense.

Fubon Braves' head coach and general manager, Hsu Chin-che, expressed his expectations for Pickett. "Pickett performed very well last season in Japan's B.League, especially with his outside shooting ability," Hsu said. "His mobility at the three and four positions is exactly what our team currently lacks. We have been looking for a stable outside shooter with scoring productivity, and Pickett is still relatively young. I am very much looking forward to his addition bringing greater firepower to our offense."

This marks Pickett's first time in Taiwan. He shared his initial impressions, stating, "Although the weather in Taiwan is quite hot, the architecture and cultural landscape here remind me of Japan, which I visited last year. It feels particularly familiar, and I really like it here."
