Archie Woodhill made his NBL debut with the Sydney Kings at 20 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
2020/21
Sydney faced significant roster turnover after finishing runners-up to Perth in the COVID-induced conclusion to the 2020 Grand Final. Jae’Sean Tate (to Houston) and head coach Will Weaver (to Houston) departed for the NBA, while Kevin Lisch (retired), Andrew Bogut (retired) and Lucas Walker (retired) also left. Adam Forde was promoted to head coach and added Jarell Martin, Angus Glover (via Illawarra) and Dejan Vasiljevic (via Miami University), while Xavier Cooks suffered a preseason foot injury and Tom Vodanovich (via New Zealand) was signed as his injury replacement.
Archie Woodhill joined Sydney as a development player alongside Lochlan Hutchison and Jaylin Galloway shortly before the season began. The Sydney product had graduated from Riverview College in 2019, trained with the Centre of Excellence in Canberra and represented NSW at the U20 level. “I am very pleased with the growth and maturity that these three young men have showed over what has been a long and tough off-season. We are focused on ensuring we contribute to the development of their game,” Kings CEO Chris Pongrass said.
Woodhill made his NBL debut against Adelaide at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on January 30, where Woodhill (0 points and 1 block) played the final 2:40 as Sydney fell 85-80. Vasiljevic (28 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists) and Ware (15 points and 6 assists) led Sydney, while Humphries (27 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal, and 2 blocks) led Adelaide.
Woodhill (1 point across 9 games) remained in a development role and did not miss games through a reported injury, with his limited appearances coming when opportunities opened at the end of games or through Sydney’s injury-hit rotation.
Woodhill’s best all-round game came against Adelaide at John Cain Arena on February 21, where Woodhill (2 points and 4 rebounds) played more than nine minutes as Sydney defeated the 36ers 94-77. Ware (23 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal) and Vasiljevic (22 points and 2 rebounds) led Sydney, while Crocker (15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal) was Adelaide’s leading scorer.
His highest-scoring game came against South East Melbourne at John Cain Arena on April 22, where Woodhill (5 points) scored five points in less than four minutes, including a late alley-oop dunk from Hutchison, as Sydney defeated the Phoenix 101-81. Hunter (19 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks) and Ware (19 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal) led Sydney, while Creek (29 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block) led South East Melbourne.
Martin (17.9 points and 7 rebounds) and Ware (17.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.4 assists) led Sydney, while Vasiljevic (15.4 points and 3.6 rebounds), Hunter (9 points and 6.3 rebounds) and Louzada (8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds) were other key contributors. Ware earned All-NBL Second Team honours and won the Kings’ Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards.
Woodhill did not play in Sydney’s final game against Brisbane on June 5, where Martin (28 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals) and Ware (14 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists) led the Kings to an 83-82 victory, while Sobey (22 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists) led Brisbane. Sydney finished fifth with a 19-17 record and missed the playoffs.
2022/23
After ending its 17-year championship drought, Sydney entered NBL23 without Jaylen Adams (to Belgrade), Jarell Martin (to Tel Aviv), Ian Clark (overseas) and Makur Maker (to Washington). Championship coach Chase Buford added Derrick Walton Jr (via Detroit), Tim Soares (via Europe), former Defensive Player of the Year Justin Simon (via Illawarra), Kouat Noi (via Cairns), Jackson Makoi (via Croatia) and Isaac Gattorna (via Adelaide).
Archie Woodhill was re-signed as a development player on the opening day of the season, completing Sydney’s roster after previously appearing in nine games for the Kings during NBL21. “Archie is a talented player, who will bring size and athleticism to our group,” Kings CEO Chris Pongrass said.
Woodhill (0 points in 2:18) made his only appearance against Adelaide on December 4 as Sydney defeated the 36ers 97-78 at Qudos Bank Arena, with Soares (18 points and 3 steals) and Walton Jr (16 points and 11 assists) leading the Kings, while Daniel Johnson (21 points and 5 rebounds) was Adelaide’s best.
Woodhill (0 points across 1 game) remained outside the regular rotation as a development player rather than because of injury. He signed with the Sydney Comets during the season to continue his development in the 2023 NBL1 East competition alongside fellow Kings development player Iggy Mitchell.
Cooks (15 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.6 assists) was named NBL MVP, while Walton Jr (15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists) joined him in the All-NBL First Team. Vasiljevic (13.6 points and 4.3 rebounds), Simon (10.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals) and Soares (9.4 points and 4.8 rebounds) helped Sydney finish first with a 19-9 record.
Woodhill did not appear during the postseason, where Sydney defeated Cairns in three semifinal games before the Championship Series against New Zealand went to a deciding fifth game. Walton Jr (21 points and 6 assists) and Cooks (19 points and 11 rebounds) led the Kings, while Barry Brown Jr (22 points) was New Zealand’s leading scorer as Sydney won 77-69 and completed back-to-back championships, with Walton Jr named Championship Series MVP.
It was the last game of the season, and it delivered all sorts of drama.

Tasmania entered NBL25 as the reigning champions but lost Jack McVeigh (to Houston), Marcus Lee (to Melbourne), Majok Majok (to South East Melbourne), Tom Vodanovich (to South East Melbourne) and Jarred Bairstow (to Brisbane).

Woodhill (5 points and 2 rebounds) delivered his best performance on January 25, playing 12:52 as Tasmania lost 116-80 to South East Melbourne, with Crawford (18 points and 5 assists) and Stoddart (14 points) leading the JackJumpers while Hurt (29 points and 6 rebounds) starred for the Phoenix.
Crawford (16 points and 4.4 assists) and Doyle (14.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 steals) were Tasmania’s leading scorers.

Roth added Tyger Campbell (via Rasta Vechta), Ben Ayre (via South East Melbourne), Bryce Hamilton (via Rostock), David Johnson (via Memphis), Josh Bannan (via Brisbane), Nick Marshall (via Adelaide) and Kobe Williamson (via Seattle).
Woodhill (1.1 points across 16 games) returned for the first season of his two-year extension as a development player rather than an injury replacement, although a foot injury kept him out of the opening round.
Woodhill (5 points and 5 rebounds) produced his best game on February 18, playing 15:44 as Tasmania lost 103-70 to Illawarra, with Campbell (17 points) and Bannan (17 points and 4 rebounds) leading the JackJumpers while Harvey (21 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists) led the Hawks.
Hamilton (18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists) and Bannan (15.4 points and 9.5 rebounds) were Tasmania’s two leading scorers, while Starks (4.7 points across 7 games, via Astana) and Haywood (0 points across 1 game, via Tasmania NBL1) joined during the season as injury replacements.
Tasmania finished sixth with a 14-19 record and faced Melbourne in the Play-In Qualifier, where Woodhill (1 rebound) played the final 47 seconds as Marshall (20 points and 6 rebounds) and Bannan (16 points and 5 rebounds) led the JackJumpers, while Delany (33 points and 6 rebounds) carried United to an 82-68 win.
Archie Woodhill currently plays for the Tasmania JackJumpers and has played 30 games in his NBL career. He has averaged 1.2 points, 1 rebounds, and 0.1 assists since entering the league in 2021.

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…

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.
