Flames burn bright with four new signings

The Sydney Flames unveiled on Friday their four Development Players for the WNBL27 season, pending League approval.

Manly-Warringah star Zoey Miller returns for a second season with Renae Garlepp's side, while Norths' Peggy Schell, Sydney's Alex Oliver and Bankstown's Kaila Proctor also join the Flames roster.

Miller, in her fifth season, averaged 14.5 points, 5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game, while helping the Sea Eagles reach the East Final.

Forward Schell posted 6.6 points and 4.7 boards per contest for the Bears this campaign, while Oliver contributed career-best figures of 7.5 points and 7.5 rebounds for the Comets.

Finally, Kaila Proctor, the younger sister of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Tyrese, was instrumental in the Bruins winning the East title and finishing second at the NBL1 Nationals.

All four players have progressed through the club's pathway program, the Harvey Norman Future Flames, to earn their spot with Garlepp's squad.

"It's exciting to see them progress through the Future Flames program and now earn the opportunity to be part of our team," Garlepp said.

"It's exactly what the program is about, developing and creating a genuine pathway to the WNBL."

The Flames open their WNBL27 season against Adelaide at Quaycentre on October 18.
