### Comments from GM Yoshihisa Ochi "We are proud to announce the signing of Finn Delany for the 2026-27 season. Having competed on the international stage with the New Zealand national team at the World Cup and with Utsunomiya Brex in the BCL Asia last summer, he is a world-class player who has battled in the NBL with Melbourne United. I am incredibly excited to welcome him to the Robots.

Delany is an ideal modern versatile forward. Standing 200cm, he can drive aggressively and sink high-percentage 3-pointers. His mobility and offensive versatility will elevate our up-tempo transition basketball to an unprecedented level. His tough defense and hustle spirit perfectly fit our club culture.

This offseason, we have focused on strengthening our size, defense, and outside shooting accuracy. With Delany, who can control the court from both the inside and outside, our roster is now fully equipped to compete in the B.PREMIER. His style of play will bring unprecedented impact and excitement to our arena."
