Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor (KKL) held a pre-season press conference Tuesday as all team members, including the new import Sheldon Bailey, met the press.

Led by then-import Shawn Hawkins, KKL started out strong last year but faded as the season went along, finishing with a record of 14-16 and missing the playoffs.

The team lost its top two scorers -- Hawkins and Cheng Jen-wei who signed with Taiwan Beer -- but added BOT's small forward Chang Jung-hsuan and center Wu Chun-hsiung as well as veteran forward Shang We-fan, formerly with TB, and Huang Pao-tse, an experienced point guard who spent last season with Dacin.
