NBL players who have played in the NBA

NBL players who have played in the NBA

A player who enters the NBL with NBA experience is always exciting news.

Fans will get excited when their team signs an NBA Free Agent. The NBL commentators will be sure to mention it during every telecast game and any newspaper article will be sure to reference it while speaking about said players’ NBL performance that week also.

Sometimes we’ll see a big-time college player use the NBL as a springboard to the NBA and we never see them again.

Other times we see NBA stars whose talent may be starting to fade, and find fresh opportunities in Australia.

And of course, there are times we see our local talent develop in the NBL before making it to “The League” and then often returning to the NBL to finish their careers.

In any instance, it’s always exciting to see how an NBA quality player performs in our league in comparison to the best basketball league in the world.

To date, 168 players have managed to play in both the NBL and the NBA and the list below includes their career NBA statistics.

It includes players like Johnny Flynn, Steve Blake and Martin Muursepp who came here with impressive credentials but failed to deliver much to an NBL stat sheet and players like Stephen Jackson, Doug Overton, and Rick Brunson who come to our shores as young ballers on their first professional contracts and after a short stint down under carved out impressive multi-year careers in the NBA.

For further information, check out which NBL players had the greatest NBA careers.
