NBL EXPERIENCE

Flynn Cameron made his NBL debut with the Melbourne United at 23 years of age. He scored three points in his first game.

After finishing the previous season outside the playoffs, Melbourne entered 2023/24 without Isaac Humphries (to Adelaide), Mason Peatling (to Illawarra), David Okwera (to Perth), Makuach Maluach (to Sydney), Marcus Lee (to Tasmania), Lachlan Barker (to Tasmania), Rayjon Tucker (to Italy), Xavier Rathan-Mayes (to Turkey) and Joshua Duach. Captain Chris Goulding, Shea Ili, Brad Newley and Ariel Hukporti returned from the previous season’s roster.

Coach Dean Vickerman added Flynn Cameron (via UC Riverside), Tanner Krebs (via Brisbane), Jo Lual-Acuil Jr (via China), Luke Travers (via Perth), Kyle Bowen (via Saint Mary’s), Campbell Blogg (via Sandringham), Matthew Dellavedova (via Sacramento) and Ian Clark (via Adelaide), while Rob Loe (via New Zealand) joined as an injury replacement after Lual-Acuil Jr suffered a wrist injury before the season.

Cameron signed a two-year deal with a mutual option for a third season after completing his college career at UC Riverside and representing New Zealand at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The son of Tall Blacks great Pero Cameron, he was also reunited with Vickerman, who had previously coached his father in New Zealand.

“I was just super excited to have Melbourne interested,” Cameron said after inking a deal with United.

“Knowing who we have as a coach – coach Dean (Vickerman) – I’ve seen him throughout the NZNBL and the NBL. He coached my dad in the NZNBL I thought that was pretty cool to have the opportunity to play for him. its a bit of a full circle moment.”

United coach Dean Vickerman was also excited about the prospect of coaching Cameron during his first NBL season.

“He’s a combo guard that’s big and strong at 6’5. We love his strength, he’s a good athlete that we believe will be able to sit down in a stance and defend multiple positions and shoot the basketball at a really high level.”

Melbourne opened the season against South East Melbourne at John Cain Arena on September 28, where Cameron (3 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists) made his NBL debut as United defeated the Phoenix 82-67. Travers (20 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block) and Dellavedova (17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals) led Melbourne, while Ben Ayre (17 points) was South East Melbourne’s leading scorer.

Cameron (3.7 points across 31 games) settled into a reserve role behind Melbourne’s experienced backcourt, averaging 9.4 minutes and shooting 43 percent from three-point range during his first professional season. He was given larger opportunities when injuries affected United’s rotation but saw his minutes reduce once the regular guards returned.

Cameron’s best game came against South East Melbourne at John Cain Arena on November 12, where he made four three-pointers and finished with 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists as Melbourne defeated the Phoenix 92-83. Goulding (27 points) and Lual-Acuil Jr (26 points, 11 rebounds, and 2 blocks) led United, while Mitch Creek (19 points and 5 rebounds) was South East Melbourne’s best as Cameron played a season-high 26:14.

Melbourne opened its season at HoopsFest on 19 September with an 88-79 win over Tasmania, with the second-year guard contributing 5 points and 1 rebound off the bench.

Cameron (6.0 points across 29 games) increased his role during his second season, providing Melbourne with another physical guard capable of defending multiple positions, attacking the basket and scoring from outside.

With Ili and Dellavedova unavailable against Illawarra on 24 October, Cameron (18 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists) made his first start of the season and produced what was then the best scoring game of his NBL career. He scored the opening basket, remained aggressive throughout the night and helped Melbourne defeat the ladder-leading Hawks 92-87 in Wollongong.

Three days later, Cameron (18 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 assists) retained his place in the starting lineup and delivered his first NBL double-double as Melbourne crushed Cairns 106-63. His work at both ends helped United race to a 23-12 opening-quarter lead before completing the second-largest victory in club history. ([Melbourne United][2])

After averaging 7.8 points in fewer than 14 minutes through Melbourne’s opening stretch, his court time reduced during the second half of the season as Goulding, Dellavedova, Ili and Clark occupied the majority of the backcourt minutes.

COLLEGE

Flynn Cameron began his NCAA career at DePaul, joining the Blue Demons program in January 2018 and then playing two seasons in Chicago from 2018–19 to 2019–20 before transferring to UC Riverside.

As a freshman at DePaul in 2018–19, Cameron appeared in 28 games as a reserve guard and produced several late-season moments during the CBI run, including 11 points and four rebounds against Creighton and two strong games in the CBI Finals versus San Francisco, scoring nine points and grabbing three rebounds in Game 2 before adding two points, three assists, a steal, and three rebounds in Game 3.

In 2019–20, his role narrowed to 11 appearances, but he recorded a seven-point outing against Villanova and scored four points at Xavier, while also earning BIG EAST All-Academic Team recognition and NABC Honors Court recognition during his time at DePaul.

Cameron transferred to UC Riverside and became a long-term starter, playing three seasons with the Highlanders from 2020–21 to 2022–23 and starting 86 of his 88 games with the program while developing into an all-conference guard in the Big West.

During that 2022–23 campaign, Cameron became the seventh Division I Highlander to record 100 assists in a season and produced a major mid-February stretch that earned Big West Player of the Week after he averaged 22.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in two wins.

Cameron’s UC Riverside tenure also overlapped with fellow NBL talent Lachlan Olbrich, with the pair sharing the Highlanders roster as Cameron handled primary guard duties while Riverside’s frontcourt rotation included Olbrich.

    • Beyond the Arc: The Greatest Shooters in NBL History

      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.

To cut through the noise, we have to look beyond raw percentages. By combining historical spreadsheet data…

      At 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.
