BIO: Adam Darragh was born in Gold Coast (QLD) and began playing basketball as a junior with the UCFC basketball program.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Adam Darragh made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 24 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.

Darragh joined the Brisbane Bullets as a development player in 2003, during his first season he averaged 1.8 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists as the Bullets finished in fourth place (22-11).

2004/05
In 2004/05, Darragh averaged 1.5 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists, again, playing a limited role with the Bullets. Brisbane finished the season this year in fifth place (17-15).

WEST SYDNEY RAZORBACKS
2005/06

After two shocking seasons in a row, the Razorbacks were forced to build after losing a number of players. The major blow coming from promising youngster Steven Markovic walking out on the club to play in Europe just a few weeks before the start of the season, the forced retirement of Simon Dwight due to a chronic knee injury and Sam MacKinnon heading to Brisbane. This left Scott McGregor, who was named team captain, as the sole remaining player from the Grand Final loss to Sydney (2004).

Coach Mark Watkins recruited James Harvey (via Perth) to the team to replace some of the outgoing firepower but was then forced to fill the remainder of the roster with low-budget players with financial issues beginning to impact the team.

Pero Vasiljevic and Rhys Carter, who weren’t even playing in the NBL the prior season, were added to the roster, alongside Graham Dann, Cameron Rigby and Miles Pearce, who were struggling to get minutes with other NBL team’s. Nick Horvath would return as a import player, and Jermaine Blackburn was later added as the team’s second import.

West Sydney’s season wasn’t only hampered by financial issues. Horvath sustained a knee injury in the first game, which sidelined him for the season. Harvey (21.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3 assists) led the team in scoring but managed only 11 games due to injuries, while import Jermaine Blackburn (18 points, 5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 steals ) was never able to fit in with the squad and was sacked midway through the season.

The team cycled through a number of low producing imports to finish the season, Casey Frank (6.3 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assists) and Joel Cornette (10.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.3 steals) among them, but the team was never competitive and finished dead last with a 5-27 record.

Darragh would benefit from the large amount of injuries suffered by the team, having the most productive season of his career and averaging 6.1 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. This included a night where he drained six consecutive 3-pointers player against the Breakers, where he would end up playing the following season.

NEW ZEALAND BREAKERS
2006/07

In 2006, Darragh was able to secure the last roster spot for the Breakers, beating out Jonathon Shepherd, Brad Kelleher and Michael Fitchett. During the 2006/07 season Darragh averaged 1.3 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.5 assists and helped the Breakers finish the regular season in a tenth place (11-22).

Adam Darragh played four seasons across three NBL teams. This included the Brisbane Bullets, West Sydney Razorbacks and New Zealand Breakers. He averaged 2.8 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 1 assists in 110 NBL games.
