Biography
The 25-year-old impressive big man has already done plenty across his career including a stint in the NBA, but now coming into a third season with the Tasmania JackJumpers, he'll be looking to stay healthy and show what he can do.
After growing up in Brisbane, he was an emerging star of Australian basketball right through his teenage years, before joining the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence in 2016.
From there, he had a stay in college at the University of Tulsa for the 2016/17 season where he played 32 games with the Golden Hurricanes and put up 3.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.9 blocks in 14 minutes.
After that one season, began his NBL career with his hometown Brisbane Bullets firstly as a development player for the 2017/18 season, before graduating to a full roster spot in 2018/19.
Then had a standout QBL, now NBL1 North, season in 2019 at the Brisbane Capitals helping lead them to a championship before taking giant steps forward in the NBL in 2019/20.
Was named the league's Most Improved Player having produced 8.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.1 blocks a game, which ended up seeing him earn an NBA opportunity signing a two-way deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Made one NBA appearance with New Orleans and played 10 games with the Erie BayHawks of the G League, before returning to the NBL with the Perth Wildcats to complete the 2020/21 season.
Joined the Tasmania JackJumpers for their inaugural season in 2021/22, but his last two seasons have seen him limited to 33 games through injury. He'll look to start turning that around in NBL24.
