HONEY BADGERS ANNOUNCE SIGNING OF CANADIAN GUARD BRANDON MUNTU
The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Thursday that they have signed Canadian guard Brandon Muntu for the rest of the CEBL season.
Muntu will be continuing his first professional season in the CEBL after already spending seven games with the Calgary Surge. In his first experience in professional basketball, he has averaged 3.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 11.6 minutes.
“Brandon plays with an edge, embraces his role, and does the little things that help teams win,” said Honey Badgers Head Coach Alex Cerda. “We're excited to add another high-character competitor to our locker room and look forward to getting him integrated with our group.”
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Muntu had an exhilarating journey through college basketball, spending three years playing in JUCO, before making the leap and rounding out his time in college with Tennessee Tech at the NCAA Division I level. He scored just under 1400 points and shot the three-point ball well at a 37 percent clip over 156 games. His NCAA tenure ended on a high note, playing almost 800 minutes in 31 games and averaged 9.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, and shot 41 percent from the field.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Brandon to our team,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “He will strengthen our perimeter shooting and bring a level of toughness that is extremely valuable as we enter the second half of the season. We’re excited to have him join the Honey Badgers family.”
Muntu has never backed down from a challenge in his basketball career, and this was on display in 2022-23 with Triton College, where he showed he can guard anybody at any size on the court and was named to NJCAA Third-Team All-American honours after averaging 15.7 points per game and nailing nearly 41 percent of his threes. Muntu also has previously had the privilege of representing both his country and province, as a member of the U15 provincial and national teams in 2016.
The Brampton Honey Badgers will face another test on the road on Saturday, June 27, going against their Eastern Conference rival Scarborough Shooting Stars, and then will return home for another homestand on Thursday, July 2, and Sunday, July 5, where they will take on the Ottawa BlackJacks and have a rematch with the Shooting Stars, respectively.
