The New Zealand Breakers are making headlines as they pursue former South East Melbourne Phoenix import Wes Iwundu to enhance their roster for the upcoming NBL season. With the NBL Blitz just around the corner, the Breakers are looking to solidify their lineup and Iwundu's defensive versatility and athleticism could be the key to their success. Last season, Iwundu averaged 11.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game while shooting an impressive 41.9% from the field. His ability to contribute on both ends of the court makes him a valuable asset for the Breakers. After a stint in Israel with Ironi Kiryat Ata, where he averaged 15.6 points and 4.7 rebounds, Iwundu is now a prime target for the Breakers as they aim to create one of the most intriguing rosters in the league. If the deal goes through, Iwundu could slot into the starting lineup alongside newcomers Kouat Noi and Dejan Vasiljevic, significantly boosting the team's defensive capabilities. Additionally, the Breakers are also eyeing 7-foot American center Kylor Kelley, further indicating their commitment to building a competitive team for the 2026-27 season.
