BIO: Brennan Stanwix was born in Hobart (TAS)
Brennan Stanwix made his NBL debut with the Hobart Devils at 19 years of age. He scored eight points in his first game.
In 1983, after the demise of the Launceston Casino City Tigers saw the state without an NBL team, Hobart entered the NBL. The Devils would play their home games from Kingsborough Sports Centre and were coached by Keith Scott, who built a team around three Stanwix brothers, Warren, Brennan and Darren and imports Eric Bailey, Marty Green and Curtis Coleman, who had been a part of the defunct Launceston team in 1980.
Hobart would win their very first game of the season, a 45 point victory over fellow Tasmanian expansion team Devonport (85-40). The offensive firepower of import trio Bailey (25.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.4 steals), Green (21.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks) and Curtis Coleman (11.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals) would put points on the scoreboard, but the league’s newest team struggled to compete against the more talented programs in the competition.
After their initial win, the Devils would lose ten consecutive games until a surprise upset of Nunawading at home (81-73).
Brennan would appear in 14 games, averaging 4.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.9 assists, but Hobart would lose the remaining games for the season. They would finish equal dead last with fellow Tasmania expansion team Devonport, with both team’s recording two wins for the year.
1984
In 1984, Stanwix averaged 3.9 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 2 assists as the Devils finished with a record of 4 wins and 19 losses.
1985
In 1985, Stanwix averaged 8.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, playing a key role in the Devils rotation that recorded a mere two wins, one of the worst seasons in NBL history.
1986
The 1986 season saw Stanwix average 4.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists and play a key role in helping the Devils record their most successful season to date with 9 wins and 17 losses.
1987
Hobart added high scoring import Paul Stanley (via Melbourne) to the roster, pairing him with Steve Carfino and immediately saw an impact. Stanley (35.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game) led the league in scoring and become the fastest player in NBL history to reach 1,000 career points. His 35.4 points per game is the seventh-best mark in league history for a single year.
He spear-headed a Devils squad that featured good chemistry and a high-powered offense. Carfino (22.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 3.4 steals), Wayne Burden (12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals) and Jerry Dennard (11.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.2 steals, and 1.3 blocks) rounded out the Devils primary offensive threats, while american coach Dave ‘Doc’ Adkins led Hobart to a 14-win, 12-loss record, the best result ever for the franchise.
Brennan would appear in 10 games and average 1.8 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in his what was his last NBL season.
Brennan Stanwix played five seasons the Hobart Devils. He averaged 4.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 73 NBL games.
