NBL EXPERIENCE

Geremy Mckay made his NBL debut with the South East Melbourne Phoenix at 23 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.

Geremy McKay joined the NBL’s newest franchise as a development player, with inaugural coach Simon Mitchell building the Phoenix around marquee signing Mitch Creek and experienced additions John Roberson, Ben Madgen, Adam Gibson, Kyle Adnam, Tai Wesley and Dane Pineau.

His only NBL appearance came in South East Melbourne’s first home game against Brisbane on October 13, where he made his only field-goal attempt and finished with 2 points and 2 rebounds in four minutes. Roberson (30 points and 6 assists) and Creek (25 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals) led the Phoenix to a 113-93 victory, while Lamar Patterson (30 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists) was Brisbane’s best as South East Melbourne improved to 2-0.

McKay (2 points across 1 game) remained outside the regular rotation for the remainder of his development-player season, with no injury reported as the reason for his limited appearances. Creek (20.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals), Roberson (20.2 points and 5.6 assists), Madgen (12.1 points and 4.8 rebounds) and Wesley (10.7 points and 4.3 rebounds) were South East Melbourne’s major contributors as the Phoenix led the NBL in scoring at 95.4 points per game.

McKay did not appear again as South East Melbourne eventually entered its final game on a seven-game losing streak. Madgen (23 points and 4 rebounds) and Wesley (20 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks) led the Phoenix against Melbourne United, while Chris Goulding (28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals) led United to a 109-90 victory, leaving South East Melbourne second-last with a 9-19 record.

Geremy Mckay played in one NBL game during the 2019-20 season, scoring 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 0 assists.

  • Eltham (2019, 2021), Casey (2022)

He played 15 games and averaged 14.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks in 29.3 minutes, shooting 60.0 percent from two-point range and 34.6 percent from three-point range as Eltham finished 6–14.

McKay had 14 points, seven rebounds and two blocks against Ballarat in his Eltham debut, then produced 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists in a win over Dandenong. He led Eltham in offensive rebounding at 2.3 per game and finished ahead of Josh Sykes for the team rebounding lead.

McKay returned with Eltham for the 2021 NBL1 South season and ranked among the conference leaders in blocked shots at 2.0 per game.

McKay joined Casey for the 2022 NBL1 South season, signing as part of the Cavaliers’ first NBL1 South roster. Casey’s 2022 roster included William Hickey, Matt Donlan, AJ Williams, Ngor Nai, Nathan Frost, Reece Bray, Ben Waterhouse, Mike McInnes, Mitch Riggs, Jordan Bell, Jock Perry, Blake Taylor, Blake Ward, Dylan Bucknell and Tony Marchese.

McKay recorded 11 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals for Casey in Round 2 against North West Tasmania, then added 15 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in Round 5. He also scored seven points against Eltham in Round 9.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE

  • New Zealand - Otago (2021)

Geremy McKay joined Otago for the 2021 Sal’s NBL season, playing his first season in New Zealand.

Otago announced McKay’s signing on 18 January 2021, listing him as a 200cm forward as the club finalised its roster for the campaign.

In the 2021 season, McKay averaged 13.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists across 18 games for Otago, playing alongside centre Sam Timmins and guard Isaiah Moss as part of the Nuggets’ main rotation group.

COLLEGE

McKay’s NCAA career began at Albany in the 2014–15 season, where he made one appearance against NJIT on November 19, 2014 before redshirting the remainder of the year.

That Albany team finished 24–9 overall and won both the America East regular-season title (15–1 in conference play) and the America East Tournament championship, earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament (Round of 64).

After the 2014–15 season, McKay transferred from Albany to Eastern Washington, with reporting at the time noting he was moving to a program with multiple Australians on the roster, and that the NCAA transfer process would require another sit-out period before he could play games again.

At Eastern Washington, McKay redshirted the 2015–16 season due to NCAA transfer rules before becoming eligible in 2016–17, when he appeared in 10 games and logged 50 total minutes for the Eagles. Across those 10 games in 2016–17, he scored 19 points (1.9 per game) and collected 14 rebounds (1.4 per game), shooting 6-of-8 from the field (.750) and 7-of-13 at the free-throw line (.538), with no made three-pointers recorded.

      In 1984, the NBL introduced the three-point line, forever altering the geometry of Australian basketball. Since then, the league has seen traditional snipers, stretch bigs and volume scorers completely revolutionise how offenses operate and defenses scramble. But as the modern game places a premium on spacing and perimeter shooting, a critical question arises: Who are the most efficient and devastating shooters in the 40-year history of the NBL? To cut through the noise, we have to look beyond raw percentages. By combining historical spreadsheet data…
