NBL EXPERIENCE
Gareth Dawson made his NBL debut with the Wollongong Hawks at 20 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
During his time with the Hawks Dawson helped the team reach the Grand Final after they finished in second place (16-12) during the 2009/10 season. The Hawks eliminated the third placed Townsville Crocodiles in three games to advance to the NBL finals series to face the Perth Wildcats.
After Perth claimed game one in Perth (75–64), the series moved to Wollongong for game two, where the Hawks returned the favour, defeating Perth 75–63 and setting up a deciding Game 3. Back on their home court Perth comfortably defeated Wollongong in the decider, 96–72, with Kevin Lisch being named Finals MVP. Dawson did not play in any postseason games.
Gareth Dawson played two seasons in the NBL, playing for both the Wollongong Hawks and the Cairns Taipans..
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.
