Biography
After a standout rookie season in the NBL where he showed he can not only produce but be a strong leader, the 23-year-old will be looking to build on that in NBL25 with the Brisbane Bullets.
Having grown up in Melbourne, the now 6'10 power forward was always a talent on the rise in Australian basketball and played in the under-17s team at the 2018 World Cup where his now Bullets coach Justin Schueller was in charge.
Then attended the University of Montana for three years and averaged 13.1 points and 7.6 rebounds including his 2022/23 season where he put up 15.0 points and 8.5 boards on shooting 49.9 per cent from the field and 40.4 from beyond the arc.
Someone who stands at 6'10 and can shoot the ball like he can was always going to attract plenty of interest from clubs to start his professional career, but it was the Bullets who won his signature and he rewarded their commitment in NBL24.
In 19 games for Brisbane he put up 11.9 points and 7.2 rebounds a game but it was more his ability to be a leader and strong presence that made him a standout before playing in the NBA Summer League with the Los Angeles Clippers ahead of NBL25 with the Bullets.
