Having initially opened the season with a woeful seven losses from nine games, Bunyan believes the belated arrival of his fellow guard has proved a launch-pad to finally turn things around.
“Alex has been a big pick up for us in terms of his defence and the general good attitude he came in with,” claimed the playmaker.
“He’s a young guy who wants to be successful and he has an incredible skill-set.
“He wants to be part of a good basketball team and his attitude helps everyone around to improve as well.
“The players on the team have also started to trust each other and thankfully as the losses piled up, we eventually came together instead of separating.”

After a superb run of five wins from six games, the Scottish club just came up short in their contest against reigning champions Leicester Riders last weekend, eventually falling to a 70-60 defeat at the Emirates Arena.
“We got off to a bad start against Leicester who are a really great team, but we fought hard and dug ourselves out of a major hole to get back into the game," said Bunyan.
"We produced a big last quarter and pushed them relatively close.
“As long as we come out aggressive and keep playing with confidence, we should be in with a good chance against London and Plymouth in our next games.
“The BBL is so tight this year and if we can get a couple of good results, we will put ourselves in a great position to make some noise come play-off time."
