Some more talent from the Lower Mainland is making its way north for the Canada West Basketball Season.
Today (Friday), the UNBC Men’s Basketball program added 6’8” forward Cairo Wells to the Green and Gold.
Wells, a natural scorer from anywhere on the floor, is both a graduate of Dr. Charles Best Secondary School and the CTA West post-grad prep program (2024), where he played alongside fellow current Timberwolf Ben White.
He shot close to 40 percent from beyond the arc during his season at CTA West.
“I shoot the ball. My favourite part of my game is shooting the mid-range,” shared Wells. “A lot of people can shoot the three and finish at the rim but being able to get to that shot at the end of the shot clock when you need a bucket – that’s what I do.”
Wells’ transition to UNBC will be made all that much easier thanks to some previous familiarity with both Ben White and Chris Ainsley – both of whom have spoken glowingly about their experiences.
During Wells’ visit to the campus back in May, he and Todd Jordan hit it off instantly.
“Coach Jordan is a great guy. He’s been super honest with me and really cares about his players. He’s got a great development system and overall I’ve was impressed,” shared Wells.
Wells will study Health Sciences at UNBC.
