Social Media Reacts to Mauriohooho-Le'afa Signing

Le'afa is an NBL quality guard and I would not be surprised if he cracked SEM's rotation. If he was a known commodity in this league, he would've been a fully contracted guy somewhere imo.

Great pick up. https://t.co/lkllnDvw7h

Great signing here! Getting a guy of this value on a DP is excellent for the @SEMelbPhoenix, with the ability to make open shots and really compete on defense is the perfect combination to earn playing time around blokes like Mitch Creek & Dane Pineau. Excited to watch this team!
