In a connected move     BiG Storage Cheshire Jets have released Chris Brown - the 24 year old, 6ft 7in forward, from Chattanooga College in Tennessee.   Director Pete Hawkins said “ Chris has great ability and has acted in a thoroughly professional manner at all times, but with the intensity of the league this year, we are simply not able to afford him the time to adjust to the BBL. We are actively helping him with the next stage of his professional career, and wish him all the best for the future.”
