Big V
Wyndham has announced the signing of Alex Holcombe for the Big V men’s championship season. “Alex arrives at Wyndham as one of the most feared rim protectors in the game, bringing a defensive presence that is set to anchor the paint,” Wyndham said on social media. “Alex’s highlight reel is a masterclass in interior defence—showcasing his elite timing for shot-blocking, his ability to dominate the glass on both ends, and his explosive finishing above the rim. After proving his status as a premier defensive specialist internationally and in Australia, Alex returns to the Australian landscape ready to provide the elite rim protection and rebounding.”
