The BIG3 season tips off in a month on June 25, and while the BIG3 Draft already set teams up with five-man rosters (which we graded out after the draft), on Thursday the league announced that each team would add a sixth reserve player to their squad. The reserve player will not be part of the active roster, but can be called up if there’s an injury or some other unforeseen circumstance that arises and a team is in need of a fifth.
All eight teams were able to go over the draft pool once again and select their reserve player from those that were not drafted back in the late April draft. There are some familiar names on the reserve player list, such as Hakim Warrick, Joe Smith, and Lou Amundson. Here is the full list of reserve players by team.
3 Headed Monsters – Hakim Warrick
Ghost Ballers – Joe Smith
Trilogy – Jannero Pargo
Tri-State – Lou Amundson
Killer 3’s – Eddie Robinson
3’s Company – David Hawkins
Power – Paul McPherson
Ball Hogs – Desmon Farmer
With those players added to the rosters, the current squads look like this.
For those looking to see what matchups will take place the first week of the season, you can check out the four games that will be played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 25. My personal favorite that week is the Ghost Ballers vs. 3 Headed Monsters, because Jason Williams and Rashard Lewis against Mike Bibby and Ricky Davis sounds fantastic.
GAME 1: Ghost Ballers vs. 3 Headed Monsters
GAME 2: Tri-State vs. Power
GAME 3: 3’s Company vs. Ball Hogs
GAME 4: Killer 3’s vs. Trilogy
