~ In a highly anticipated event, the Detroit Amplifiers have officially announced their five-man roster for the upcoming 2025 BIG3 season. The team, known as the city's premier BIG3 franchise, made two key additions during today's draft in Las Vegas, solidifying their lineup and setting high expectations for their debut season.
With their first-round pick, the Amplifiers selected Ray Nixon, a 6'8" veteran forward with a reputation for versatility, perimeter shooting, and championship experience overseas. Nixon has been a standout player in the BIG3 league and brings valuable leadership to the team. In the second round, Detroit added Shakur Juiston, a high-energy forward known for his rebounding prowess and defensive tenacity. Juiston's blue-collar playing style makes him a perfect fit for the Amplifiers' identity.
Head Coach George Gervin expressed his excitement about the new additions to the team, stating that they "complete the puzzle" and bring valuable skills to an already talented roster.
Nixon shared his enthusiasm about joining the Detroit Amplifiers, saying that it is an honor to play for such a legendary coach like Gervin. He also expressed gratitude towards the owners, coaches, and captains who believed in him and is ready to give his all for the city of Detroit.

Pargo brings elite scoring abilities and leadership to the team, while Jackson's physical presence in the paint and vocal presence make him a vital part of the team's identity. Johnson, a seven-time NBA All-Star, adds championship experience and unmatched scoring abilities to the Amplifiers.
Nixon, a 6'8" forward from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, played collegiate basketball at the University of Wisconsin before embarking on a successful international career. He joined the BIG3 league in 2022 and has been a reliable scorer and leader for his team.
