BIO: Jason Reese was born in Des Moines, Iowa (USA).
Jason Reese made his NBL debut with the Hobart Devils at 23 years of age. He scored 40 points in his first game.
In 1993, under new head coach Brett Brown, the Giants replaced Scott Fisher with Jason Reese who seemed the perfect replacement for Fisher on paper after averaging 26.5 points and 12.3 rebounds with Canberra the previous season. For some reason the combination never quite gelled and the Giants would lose to Fisher’s Perth Wildcats squad in the quarter finals.
Jason Reese played four seasons across three NBL teams. This included the Hobart Devils, North Melbourne Giants and Canberra Cannons. He averaged 26.8 points, 10.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 106 NBL games.
CAREER RANKINGS:
– 21st in points per game.
– 42nd in rebounds per game.
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.

Eleven months ago, during the Australian national team's final practice match before flying out to compete at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Jock Landale went down with an ankle injury that changed the course of the Boomers' medal hopes.
