BIO: Brandon Paul was born in Gurnee, Illinois (USA).
Brandon Paul made his NBL debut with the Adelaide 36ers at 29 years of age. He scored 25 points in his first game.
Brandon Paul joined the Adelaide 36ers mid-season following the release of import point guard Donald Sloan.
Despite several roster adjustments, Adelaide remained optimistic about their playoff chances, beginning the season with a promising 4-2 record. However, the NBL season faced disruption due to COVID-19, which led to the introduction of the NBL Cup, a ‘bubble tournament’ held in Melbourne where all teams played eight consecutive games.
The Sixers struggled throughout the NBL Cup, and by the end of the tournament, they had dropped from third place to seventh on the ladder. Further compounding their difficulties was the loss of Isaac Humphries to an injury that sidelined him for most of the second half of the season.
Daniel Johnson (19.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists) led Adelaide offensively, posting career-high scoring numbers and earning co-MVP honours alongside rookie standout Josh Giddey (10.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 7.6 assists), who also took home the NBL Rookie of the Year award after leading the league in assists.
Brandon Paul made a solid contribution, averaging 13.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists over the course of the season. However, despite Paul’s efforts, the 36ers finished with a disappointing 13-23 record, ending the season in seventh place.
Brandon Paul played one season in the NBL. He averaged 13.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 20 NBL games.
Dan Boyce is a die-hard Sydney Kings fan who grew up in Melbourne during the roaring 90's of Australian Basketball and spent far too much time collecting Futera NBL Basketball cards.

READ MOREThe possibility of an NBL expansion team in Geelong has gained momentum, with league owner Larry Kestelman confirming the city is a strong candidate—provided it can secure a suitable venue. However, much like we outlined in an article a number of years ago, How the Geelong Supercats could return to the NBL within 3 years, the missing piece isn’t just a stadium, but a real estate-backed development plan to make the project financially viable. Kestelman recently acknowledged Geelong’s growing basketball scene, citing record participation numbers…
READ MOREThere have been championship runs in the NBL defined by dominance and the sheer weight of talent that could overwhelm opponents before the ball was tipped. The dynasties of Perth, the star-studded reign of Melbourne, and the rise of Sydney’s financial muscle all tell tales of powerhouses that knew how to stay at the top. But there has only ever been one championship like Wollongong’s in 2001—a title won through sheer resilience, a team that had no business being there until they forced their way…
READ MOREThe Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award is supposed to recognise the most dominant defender in the NBA. If that’s the case, then Dyson Daniels should already have his name engraved on the trophy. But as the season winds down, there’s a growing concern that Daniels might get overlooked simply because he’s a guard. If that happens, it won’t just be unfair—it will be a disgrace. Daniels is Leading the NBA in Every Key Defensive Stat There’s no argument against Daniels’ defensive dominance this…
READ MORESydney Kings captain Xavier Cooks has served most of his one-month suspension for testing positive for cocaine but may still face additional disciplinary action from his club. He was provisionally suspended in early February after returning an adverse analytical finding just two days before the Kings’ sudden-death clash against Adelaide. Basketball Australia later confirmed the ban, though the club initially cited “personal leave” as the reason for his absence. Despite the violation, Sydney Kings officials reportedly want to retain Cooks, who remains under contract for…

READ MOREThe recent FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers in Traralgon showcased not just Australia's dominance in the region but also why Australian basketball is becoming an invaluable asset for Asian nations looking to grow their game. The Boomers' commanding victories over Indonesia (109-58) and Thailand (114-64) were not just displays of superior talent but reflections of an elite system that consistently produces world-class players. For Asian basketball federations seeking a model to learn from, Australia offers an ideal blueprint—one that balances elite player development, a thriving professional…
READ MOREA second Sydney NBL team is expected to be the league’s next expansion franchise, with Gold Coast, Darwin, and Canberra all encountering significant roadblocks in recent months. It’s believed the Harbour City Stars is the leading candidate for the team name, following a branding strategy similar to how San Francisco’s Golden State Warriors use a regional moniker rather than the city’s name. This broader identity would emphasize the team’s connection to Sydney’s iconic harbor while avoiding geographical constraints within the city. In addition to Harbour…
