NBL EXPERIENCE
Alonzo Gee made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 31 years of age. He scored 13 points in his first game.
After finishing dead last in 2018, Brisbane said goodbye to Adam Gibson (to South East Melbourne), Shaun Bruce (to Sydney), and Anthony Petrie (retired) and went on a recruiting drive that brought in Boomers sharpshooter Cameron Gliddon (via Cairns), Jason Cadee (via Sydney), Matt Hodgson (via Adelaide), Tom Jervis (via Perth), and Mika Vukona (via New Zealand). The Bullets also welcomed back Rio Olympian and former Chicago Bull Cam Bairstow, who was returning after a knee reconstruction, added Makoto Hiejima under the NBL’s Asian Player rule, making him the first Japanese player to sign with an NBL team, and added NBA veteran Alonzo Gee (via Puerto Rico) as an import.
These key signings were meant to bolster Brisbane’s roster as they prepared for a tough start to the season, with 12 of their first 15 games coming against last season’s top-four playoff teams.
Four games into the season, Brisbane was forced to release Alonzo Gee (7.8 points 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists) when the veteran of 417 NBA games requested to go home to the US for ‘personal reasons’. A month later, import Stephen Holt (7.1 points 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists), concerned about his playing time (16.6 minutes per game), was granted a mutual release and left to pursue an opportunity in Europe. To fill the gap, Brisbane signed Lamar Patterson (via China) to replace Gee (October 2018) and Jeremy Kendle (6.0 points 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists), who had been training with the team throughout the season, to cover the loss of Holt.
Despite a short stint with the Bullets, Alonzo Gee (7.8 points 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists) delivered solid performances in his limited appearances. His best games of the regular season included 13 points 6 rebounds and 3 assists against New Zealand (11 Oct 2018), 8 points 10 rebounds and 1 assist against Cairns (13 Oct 2018), and 6 points 2 rebounds and 2 assists against Perth (20 Oct 2018).
Despite Gee’s early departure, Brisbane continued to be led by Lamar Patterson (17.8 points 6.2 rebounds 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals), Cameron Gliddon (13.7 points 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists), and Cam Bairstow (11.6 points 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists). Reuben Te Rangi (9.9 points 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists) won the league’s Most Improved Player and Sixth Man of the Year awards.
Brisbane finished the regular season tied with Adelaide (14-14) but secured the fourth spot due to a higher points percentage and advanced to the playoffs where they would lose to Perth in the semi-finals (0-2).
Alonzo Gee played one season in the NBL. He averaged 7.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 4 NBL games.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE
- NBDL - Austin Toro's (2010)
COLLEGE
Alonzo Gee attended the University of Alabama, where he played for the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team for four seasons from 2005–06 through 2008–09, becoming one of the program’s most productive and durable players of the modern era.
Gee appeared in 129 games during his Alabama career, starting the majority of contests across four seasons, and finished with 1,347 career points and 830 career rebounds, ranking among the Crimson Tide’s all-time leaders in both categories.
As a freshman during the 2005–06 season, Gee immediately became part of Alabama’s rotation and contributed to a team that reached the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, gaining early postseason experience at the national level.
He continued to grow into a larger role over his sophomore and junior seasons, developing into a consistent scorer and rebounder while helping Alabama qualify for postseason play, including an NIT appearance during the 2007–08 season.
Gee’s senior season in 2008–09 marked the peak of his collegiate career, as he averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game while leading the Southeastern Conference in rebounding and ranking among the league leaders in scoring.
During the 2008–09 campaign, Gee was named SEC Player of the Year, earned First Team All-SEC honours, and was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-District team, cementing his status as one of the conference’s elite performers.
He also helped lead Alabama to the 2009 NCAA Tournament, where the Crimson Tide reached the Round of 32, with Gee serving as the team’s primary offensive option and emotional leader throughout the season.
Across his four years at Alabama, Gee finished as one of the few players in program history to record over 1,300 points and 800 rebounds, and he closed his collegiate career as Alabama’s leading scorer and rebounder for the 2008–09 season.
Gee’s combination of scoring consistency, rebounding production, and durability across four seasons established him as one of the most accomplished Alabama players of the 2000s and set the foundation for his transition to a professional basketball career following graduation in 2009.
