Bunyan signs on to complete a decade with pro Radisson Red Glasgow Rocks

Season 19-20 saw Bunyan finish in the League’s top 10 for three-point field goal percentage for the fifth time in the past six seasons, a mark of his consistency from behind the arc as well as his overall game.

The 28-year old Scotland International went to the Rocks after six seasons at Fury, where he picked up multiple national titles as a youngster.

That was followed by a year in the States at a top level prep school - Kimball Union. During his first three seasons at the RocksBunyan shared time with Fury Men’s team – leading the Falkirk side to further national titles - that included three in a row Scottish Div 1 league titles and a Scottish Cup, league and play-off treble winning season in 13-14.

The Rocks’ newly appointed coach and Scotland Men’s team-mate - Gareth Murray said he was “happy to have Jonny back with the Rocks for what will be his 10th season with the club”.

He added: “What more can I say about Jonny that everyone doesn’t already know? In his time playing for Glasgow he is now third in games played with 239. Known for his three-point shooting he is fifth in made threes with 230 and ninth in points scored with 1198. This season he will take on a leadership role being one of the most experienced and oldest on the team at 28.

“I will be looking for him to lead by example while continuing to improve his overall game.”

Jonny told The Falkirk Herald: “Right now I am looking forward to getting back to basketball as soon as possible. To continue with the Rocks, with Gareth in charge, was a big factor for me in returning. It’s going to be an interesting season and I will be focussing on continuing not only to develop my own game but also as one of the senior players, to ensure great team spirit, in what will be in the main, a new group of players.

“I am also excited that my Fury and Scotland teammate Fraser Malcolm will also be on the Rocks roster and that our owner – Duncan Smillie continues to have confidence in me and what I can bring to the Rocks franchise – which is without doubt, one of the best in the league.”

Fury Headcoach John Bunyan, Jonny’s dad, told The Falkirk herald of his pride, adding: “Playing professional sport is a situation that requires a huge amount of dedication and commitment and Jonny has always shown he has these qualities and a lot more.

“The BBL, in my opinion, is a solid league with many talented players and to hold down a spot on any BBL roster, for not just a season, never mind 10 takes a lot of hard work and ability.

“His consistency not just from the three-point line, but as a solid ball handler, often under pressure and often being faced with playing taller opponents is a credit to his game.

“I know all at Fury will be cheering Jonny, Fraser, Gareth and all their new signings on, as they take on the best in Britain and show that Scotland can continue to produce players capable of playing pro basketball.”
