BIO: Alok was born in Kenya, where he played football, and raised in Auckland, New Zealand after moving there with his family in 2005.

He began playing basketball in his first year of high school and became a member of the New Zealand Breakers academy.

In the 2014/15 season, Alok played two games for the Breakers in the NBL as a development player.

At age 17, he moved to the United States for his senior year of high school in order to play for Impact Academy in Sarasota, Florida.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Yuat Alok made his NBL debut with the New Zealand Breakers at 18 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.

After a dismal season the year prior, where the team missed out on the NBL playoffs despite having won the previous three seasons in a row, the Breakers regrouped by replacing imports Kerron Johnson and Gary Wilkinson with big man Ekene Ibekwe and fan favourite Cedric Jackson, who had led the team to back-to-back titles previously (2012, 2013).

This season saw the exits of CJ Bruton (retired) and Daryl Corletto (to Melbourne) and replaced with Rhys Carter (via Adelaide) and Tai Wesley, who qualified as a local player due to being born in Guam under the league’s Asian player rule.

As a development player, Alok would see minimal playing opportunities with the Breakers, appearing in only two games and scoring one basket. New Zealand would go on to defeat Cairns in the Grand Final, clinching the Breakers fourth title in five seasons.

Yuat Alok played one season in the NBL. He averaged 1 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 assists in 2 NBL games.

COLLEGE

Alok played college basketball at Chipola College during the 2016–17 season before transferring to TCU, where he competed in the 2018–19 season, and he later signed with Southern Utah in 2020 while his final NCAA game action came at Coppin State (2020–21) and New Mexico State (2021–22).

Alok suited up for Chipola during the 2016–17 season, appearing in all 30 games and making 21 starts while averaging 7.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game, with shooting splits of .606 from the field, .333 from three-point range, and .685 at the free-throw line.

In that 2016–17 Chipola season, he produced 12 double-figure scoring games, two 20-point outings, and three double-doubles, highlighted by a season-high 22 points and a season-high 11 rebounds in a win over East Georgia State College (Dec. 30), and a season-high four blocks in a 10-point win over Miami Dade College (Dec. 11), while earning All-Panhandle Conference Second Team recognition.

Alok returned to Chipola for the 2017–18 season, logging minutes in 22 of the team’s 30 games with 21 starts, and he lifted his production to 12.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game while posting .551/.481/.816 shooting splits and finishing the year with 13 games of 10 or more points, two 20-point games, and three double-doubles.

During the 2017–18 season at Chipola, he was billed as the nation’s top junior college recruit heading into the year and later finished with All-Panhandle Conference Second Team accolades again, including a 20-point game on 7-of-12 shooting against Baton Rouge Community College (Nov. 13) and a 20-point, 15-rebound double-double against Georgia Highlands College (Dec. 2) that also featured a season-high four blocks, with his sophomore year also noted for scoring 15 or more points in a game on eight occasions.

Alok committed to TCU out of Chipola and opened the 2018–19 season in Fort Worth, appearing in 10 games and averaging 3.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game before a hand injury ended his season early.

In his TCU debut against CSU Bakersfield (Nov. 7, 2018), Alok set his Horned Frogs highs with 11 points and six rebounds while adding a block, and later posted a season-best two blocked shots at USC (Dec. 7) as part of his 10-game stint.

In January 2019, Alok transferred to UCF after leaving TCU, but he did not appear in a game for the Knights after being ruled ineligible, before later signing with Southern Utah in January 2020 under head coach Todd Simon, a move that followed his path from Kenya to New Zealand and then to the United States as a teenager, though he ultimately did not play a game for Southern Utah.

Alok’s next NCAA minutes came after he joined Coppin State in January 2021, and across 11 games (all starts) in the 2020–21 season he averaged 9.5 points and 5.9 rebounds in 20.8 minutes per game while shooting 42-for-75 from the field (56.0%), 9-for-22 on threes (40.9%), and 11-for-19 at the line (57.9%), adding ten blocks, eight assists and three steals.

During that Coppin State stretch, he scored in double figures six times with one double-double, beginning with 10 points and four rebounds in his debut at Morgan State (Jan. 16) and continuing with a career-high 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting with two threes against Norfolk State (Jan. 24), plus back-to-back 10-point games against Morgan State (Jan. 30 and Feb. 2), four blocks alongside seven rebounds at Norfolk State (Feb. 7), and a 14-point, six-rebound finish at Delaware State (Feb. 28).

In the 2021 MEAC Tournament, Alok delivered 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting with two three-pointers and a career-high 11 rebounds against Morgan State (March 12), which earned him a spot on the MEAC All-Tournament Team.

Alok moved again as a graduate transfer to New Mexico State for the 2021–22 season, playing in 30 of the team’s 34 games with six starts and averaging 4.7 points and 1.7 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game while shooting 48.8% from the field, 36.8% from three, and 68.8% at the foul line, finishing the year with 140 points, 51 rebounds, and 12 blocks across the season.

During New Mexico State’s 2021–22 run, he made his first start in a WAC home win over California Baptist (Feb. 3) and scored 10 points with three rebounds, and he was part of an Aggies team that won the WAC regular-season title, captured the WAC Tournament championship to reach the NCAA Tournament, and then recorded the program’s first NCAA Tournament win since 1993 by beating UConn 70–63 in the first round (March 17, 2022), with Alok also appearing in the second-round game against Arkansas two days later.

    • Why Newcastle’s NBL Return Is Closer Than You Think

      The conversation around NBL expansion has intensified in recent years, with the league publicly confirming discussions with potential markets such as Canberra, the Gold Coast, and Darwin. However, one city that continues to quietly build momentum as a realistic candidate for a future franchise is Newcastle. While it may not always dominate the expansion headlines, the pieces required for an NBL return are slowly aligning, and according to former owner of the Illawarra Hawks, Dorry Kordahi, the push for a Newcastle team is very real.…

    • Why Luke Paul Said No to a $3 Million College Bag to Get “Beaten Up” in the NBL

      Most 16-year-olds would take the bag. Luke Paul wants to take a beating. In an era where high school recruits are chasing six-figure Instagram followings and seven-figure NIL deals, Luke Paul just did the unthinkable. The 16-year-old Australian talent is a 6'6" point guard widely tipped as a future NBA lottery pick who reportedly turned down US college offers worth up to $3 million to stay home. He didn't do it for comfort. He didn't do it for safety. According to Paul, he did it…

      With one game remaining in the regular season and finals seeding on the line, South East Melbourne moved a step closer to the top two with a 120–104 win over the Tasmania JackJumpers at John Cain Arena. The Phoenix overcame a career-high 36-point outing from Majok Deng, with Angus Glover leading the way with 21 points and seven three-pointers as the home side’s firepower proved too much. Despite the result, coach Josh King said his group still needs to produce a complete four-quarter performance, particularly…

      Five to ten years ago, if an Australian headed to Japan, it was typically because of not making NBL roster spots. Players like Venky Jois, Daniel Dillon and Rhys Vague fit this profile. Now Australian basketballers looking to play overseas rarely viewed Japan as a serious career destination. The traditional pathways pointed elsewhere, but that perception has shifted rapidly. Today, Japan’s B.League has emerged as a legitimate and increasingly attractive option for Australian players seeking strong contracts, defined roles, and long-term professional stability.Today, that narrative…
