Alex McNaught has resigned with the NBS Nelson Giants for another crack at the title.

Now calling Nelson home, the 21 year old point guard has become a staple of the team's starting line up, having spent four seasons with the Giants.

With two seasons with the New Zealand Breakers and two games with the Tall Blacks, he comes back to the team as an experienced leader as well as a promising young player.

Having established himself as one of the best defenders in the country, his offensive capabilities have continued to improve as he looks set to be a threat at both ends of the court.
