NICKNAME/S: 2Hard2Guard

BIO: De León was born in the Dominican Republic, but his family emigrated to the United States and settled down in Washington Heights, Manhattan. De León attended Louis D. Brandeis High School on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, but rarely attended class. He did not play basketball seriously until the summer for his senior year, when he played on the AAU team and traveled the country. In 2009 was named as MVP of the prestigious Rucker Park Summer League in New York.

After college, he carved out his niche at the Dyckman Park, West 4th, Rucker Park, Pro City and Hoops in the Sun summer League. His play earned him the nickname, “2 Hard 2 Guard”. In 2011, De León and NBA player Brandon Jennings competed against each other for the moniker of “2 Hard 2 Guard”. De León led his East squad to a 78–55 win over Jennings and his West team, which included fellow NBA player DeMar DeRozan. Both players went at each other throughout the night but in the end, De León outplayed and outscored Jennings.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Adris De León made his NBL debut with the Gold Coast Blaze at 27 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.

After a lacklustre debut De León exploded in his second game with the Blaze and showcased his true talents. He recorded 21 points and eight assists against the Perth Wildcats. He went on to register two more 20-plus point games to round out November. On December 2, he recorded 17 points and a season-high 11 rebounds against the Cairns Taipans. On February 10, he recorded 29 points and eight assists against the Sydney Kings. On March 4, he scored a season-high 33 points against the Kings.

In 28 games for the Blaze, De León averaged 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game for the season.

2011/12
The 2011/12 season saw De León average 16.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists and play a key role in helping the Blaze to a third place finish (17-11) in the regular season.

2012/13
In 2012/13 De León averaged 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assist and helped the Hawks end the season with a record of 13-15 and a third place finish in the regular season.

On August 27, 2012, De León signed with the Wollongong Hawks for the 2012/13 NBL season. He earned the NBL Best Sixth Man Award, becoming the first ever Hawks player to win the award. He was also named to the All-NBL Third Team. In 30 games for the Hawks, he averaged 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.1 assist and 1.3 steals per game.

2. Adris Deleon: 29 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steals, 1 block in 34 minutes

February 10 – Gold Coast Blaze 84 dft. Sydney Kings 72

1. Adris Deleon: 33 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block in 31 minutes

March 4 – Gold Coast Blaze 90 dft. Sydney Kings 83

Adris “2Hard2Gaurd” DeLeon must love to play against the Sydney Kings. Delivering 62 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assist in his two games against them were spectacular no doubt, but add to the fact that they were also the top performances of the year is ridiculous. Perhaps if the Blaze are able to retain his rights for next season they should think of playing a couple of home games by the Harbour in 2013.

The “Dominican Destroyer” is comparable to a young Robert Rose in how he is able to keep the statisticians busy, tallying numbers in almost every statistical category. He was the most well rounded player in the NBL this season, exemplified by the top two individual performances for the year. When we spoke to him in our podcast, DeLeon said he loved Australia, so there is a chance there could be even better games from DeLeon in the future… if that’s the case, I would hate to think what those numbers would look like.

On August 10, 2018, De León signed with the Adelaide 36ers for the 2018/19 NBL season. On November 10, 2018, he parted ways with the 36ers. He averaged 9.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assist over 10 games.

2018/19
In 2018/19, De León averaged 7.7 points and 2.7 rebounds, and helped guide the 36ers to a fifth place finish in the regular season with a 14-14 record.

Adris De León played three seasons across three NBL teams. This included the Gold Coast Blaze, Wollongong Hawks and Adelaide 36ers. He averaged 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3 assists in 67 NBL games.
