NBL EXPERIENCE
Alonzo Gee made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 31 years of age. He scored 13 points in his first game.
After finishing last in 2017/18 with a 9-19 record and collecting a second consecutive wooden spoon, Brisbane reshaped its roster under coach Andrej Lemanis. Daniel Kickert (to Sydney), Tom Jervis (to Perth), Mitch Young (to Cairns), Shaun Bruce, Anthony Petrie (retired) and imports Travis Trice and Perrin Buford departed, while captain Adam Gibson, Stephen Holt, Reuben Te Rangi and Will Magnay remained. Brisbane added Cameron Gliddon (via Cairns), Jason Cadee (via Sydney), Matthew Hodgson (via Adelaide), Mika Vukona (via New Zealand), Makoto Hiejima (via Japan) and NBA veteran Alonzo Gee (via Puerto Rico), while Cam Bairstow returned after missing the previous season following a knee reconstruction. The additions were made ahead of a difficult early schedule, with 12 of Brisbane’s first 15 games coming against teams which had finished in the top four the previous season.
The 417-game NBA veteran had most recently played for Caciques de Humacao in Puerto Rico and joined Brisbane as its second import alongside Holt. He had spent eight seasons in the NBA, including 250 games and 166 starts with Cleveland, and his signing completed a revamped Bullets roster looking to return to the playoffs for the first time since re-entering the league.
Brisbane opened the season in Auckland on October 11, where the new import started and finished with 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists as the Bullets defeated New Zealand 86-73 for their first win in Auckland since 2005. Gliddon (29 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals) and Bairstow (14 points and 5 rebounds) provided support, while Corey Webster (23 points) led New Zealand.
Gee (7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals across 4 games) started all four games during his short stay with Brisbane, with the Bullets going 2-2 during his time in the lineup.
Gee’s best game came against Cairns on October 13, where he finished with 8 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals, but the Taipans defeated Brisbane 88-70. Te Rangi (18 points and 3 rebounds) and Gliddon (11 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists) were Brisbane’s leading scorers, while Melo Trimble (32 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists) led Cairns.
Against Perth on October 20, Gee (6 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals) again started for Brisbane, with Gliddon (13 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals) and Te Rangi (11 points and 4 rebounds) leading the Bullets, but Bryce Cotton (28 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists) and Nick Kay (16 points and 11 rebounds) helped Perth to an 88-73 win.
Gee’s final appearance came against Perth on October 25, where he finished with 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals as Brisbane defeated the Wildcats 100-96. Bairstow (18 points), Gliddon (15 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists) and Cadee (14 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists) led Brisbane, while Terrico White (19 points and 6 rebounds) and Cotton (17 points and 4 rebounds) led Perth.
Two days later, Brisbane released Gee after he requested to return home to the US for “personal reasons”. No injury was cited as the reason for his absence and he did not miss games while remaining on Brisbane’s roster, with the remainder of the season missed because his four-game stint had ended. Brisbane initially moved Te Rangi into the starting lineup before signing Lamar Patterson (via China) as Gee’s replacement, with Patterson arriving after the Bullets had fallen to 2-3.
Patterson (17.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals across 24 games) went on to become Brisbane’s leading scorer, earning All-NBL First Team honours and winning the Bullets’ club MVP award. Gliddon (13.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals across 29 games), Bairstow (11.6 points and 5.8 rebounds across 29 games) and Te Rangi (9.9 points and 3.1 rebounds across 30 games) were also major contributors, with Te Rangi winning both the NBL’s Most Improved Player and Sixth Man of the Year awards.
Brisbane finished the regular season tied with Adelaide at 14-14 but claimed fourth place on points percentage, reaching the playoffs for the first time since 2008. With Gee no longer with the team, Perth defeated Brisbane 89-59 in game one of the semifinals before completing the 2-0 sweep with an 84-79 win in Brisbane.
Alonzo Gee played one season in the NBL. He averaged 7.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 4 NBL games.

COLLEGE
Alonzo Gee attended the University of Alabama, where he played for the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball team for four seasons from 2005–06 through 2008–09, becoming one of the program’s most productive and durable players of the modern era.
Gee appeared in 129 games during his Alabama career, starting the majority of contests across four seasons, and finished with 1,347 career points and 830 career rebounds, ranking among the Crimson Tide’s all-time leaders in both categories.
As a freshman during the 2005–06 season, Gee immediately became part of Alabama’s rotation and contributed to a team that reached the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament, gaining early postseason experience at the national level.
He continued to grow into a larger role over his sophomore and junior seasons, developing into a consistent scorer and rebounder while helping Alabama qualify for postseason play, including an NIT appearance during the 2007–08 season.
Gee’s senior season in 2008–09 marked the peak of his collegiate career, as he averaged 16.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game while leading the Southeastern Conference in rebounding and ranking among the league leaders in scoring.
During the 2008–09 campaign, Gee was named SEC Player of the Year, earned First Team All-SEC honours, and was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-District team, cementing his status as one of the conference’s elite performers.
He also helped lead Alabama to the 2009 NCAA Tournament, where the Crimson Tide reached the Round of 32, with Gee serving as the team’s primary offensive option and emotional leader throughout the season.
Across his four years at Alabama, Gee finished as one of the few players in program history to record over 1,300 points and 800 rebounds, and he closed his collegiate career as Alabama’s leading scorer and rebounder for the 2008–09 season.
Gee’s combination of scoring consistency, rebounding production, and durability across four seasons established him as one of the most accomplished Alabama players of the 2000s and set the foundation for his transition to a professional basketball career following graduation in 2009.
