Dujuan Wiley made his NBL debut with the Townsville Crocodiles on 21/10/2000. He scored 12 points in his first game.
Ian Stacker entered 2000/01 with the nucleus that had delivered Townsville’s maiden playoff berth, retaining Robert Rose, Sam MacKinnon, Pat Reidy, Mike Kelly, Andrew Goodwin, Brad Davidson, Peter Crawford and David Pennisi, and bringing in Dujuan Wiley to replace Ben Knight (to Cairns), the team’s lone departure.
Townsville launched by routing Queensland rivals Cairns at The Swamp (120–85), Robert Rose (13 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists) controlling the tempo and Andrew Goodwin (24 points and 8 rebounds) putting points on the board as the Crocs signalled intent from the jump.
The early momentum carried to 4–1 before a rougher patch—road losses at Adelaide (105–121) and Perth (108–121), the latter featuring a Rose triple-double (22 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists)—plus a two-game stumble against Victoria, saw them fall to a record of 5–4 . Soon after, severe bone bruising ended Sam MacKinnon’s year at 16 games despite averages of (17.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.1 blocks), resulting in the decision to replace Wiley (7.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks). In February, Townsville released the import, bringing in David Hinton (9.8 points, 6.0 rebounds)—to open the floor, lift tempo and keep size on the glass without sacrificing spacing.
After Wiley’s exit, Hinton’s mid-season inclusion preceded an eleven-game surge and a 22–6 regular-season finish, with the rebalanced rotation powering a run through Sydney and Victoria to a Grand Final meeting with Wollongong that the Hawks edged 2–1, marking the league’s first title for a NSW club.
Dujuan Wiley played one season in the NBL. He averaged 7.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 0.4 assists in 16 NBL games.

Until now, a complete record of the junior association responsible for developing every player to have competed in…

READ MOREIn 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…

READ MOREAt some point over the next 12 months, the Boomers are going to have to make a decision that Australian basketball has managed to avoid for almost two decades. Who exactly is this team built around now? Since 2010, that answer was simple. It was Patty Mills’ team. Mills has been the primary scorer for the Boomers for nearly two decades and few Australian victories have been recorded without a major scoring performance from Patty. But as the Boomers move toward the 2027 FIBA World…
READ MOREA player arriving in the NBL with NBA experience always creates interest. Fans get excited when their team signs a former NBA player, commentators mention it during broadcasts, and every article about that player usually links their NBL performance back to their NBA résumé. Sometimes, we see a big-time college prospect use the NBL as a springboard to the NBA and never return. Other times, established NBA veterans come to Australia looking for a fresh opportunity. And in many cases, local talent develops in the…
