NBL EXPERIENCE
Josh Tomasi made his NBL debut with the Tasmania JackJumpers at 22 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
Following its inaugural Grand Final appearance, Tasmania retained the majority of Scott Roth’s roster but farewelled imports Josh Adams (to Cedevita Olimpija) and MiKyle McIntosh (to Saga). Milton Doyle (via Gaziantep) and Rashard Kelly (via Dijon) replaced them, with Isaac White (via Illawarra), Tristan Forsyth (via South East Melbourne), Walter Brown and Josh Tomasi (via St Cloud State) also joining the program.
Tomasi earned a development player contract after impressing during Tasmania’s inaugural invitational trials. “No one has seen him other than us and I think we have a diamond in the rough,” Roth said.
Tomasi made his NBL debut and only appearance against Cairns at MyState Bank Arena on October 3, where Tomasi (0 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in 2:04) provided productive late minutes despite missing his only field-goal attempt. Kelly (15 points and 4 rebounds) and Krslovic (13 points and 5 rebounds) led Tasmania, while Deng (26 points and 5 rebounds) powered Cairns to a 106-84 win.
Tomasi (0 points across 1 game) continued training with the JackJumpers but a concussion kept him unavailable for much of the second half of the season. “Coming in everyday and learning.. you just have to dive in, you can’t be one foot in and one foot out,” he said. Josh Tomasi interview
Doyle (17.2 points, 5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.7 steals across 31 games), McVeigh (14.8 points and 4.6 rebounds across 32 games), Kelly (12.1 points and 6.2 rebounds across 31 games) and Magette (10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2 steals across 28 games) led Tasmania to fourth place with a 16-12 record. Tomasi signed another one-year development player deal following the season but was later granted a release (to Europe), while Tasmania’s campaign ended with a 92-77 Game Three loss to New Zealand.
2023/24
Tomasi returned to Tasmania after signing a one-year developmental player deal (30 May). Before the season started, Tomasi was granted a release from his 2023/24 Development Player contract, allowing him to play in Europe.
Josh Tomasi played in one NBL game during the 2022-23 season, scoring 0 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assists.
