Players

Has never played a game in the NBL previously and hasn’t played professional basketball now for three years, but brings a famous family legacy and enormous talent to the Sydney Kings.

The 27-year-old power forward who more than has the size and tools to play as a centre in the NBL, was born in Melbourne but mostly grew up in Sydney with his father, Bruce, one of the all-time great of the league from his career with the Eastside Spectres, Westside Saints, South East Melbourne Magic, Sydney Kings and West Sydney Razorbacks.

Moved to the US in 2013 aged 17 to get ready for college and signed with UCLA, where he went on to play two seasons with the Bruins before leaving to declare for the 2016 NBA Draft.

While he went undrafted, started his professional career in Serbia with FMP Meridian and then in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv, before signing with the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA for the 2018/19 season.

Played 54 games that first season with the Sixers, including 10 as a starter and part of the playoff run where he averaged 4.7 points and 3.8 rebounds, while shooting the three ball at 35.4 per cent.

Split his time between the 76ers and Phoenix Suns in the 2019/20 NBA season, before deciding to retire from basketball on the back of that campaign to focus on a cryptocurrency career.

However, after three years he has the itch back for the game and will play his first NBL season, looking to show what he's still capable of with the defending champion Kings.
