NBL EXPERIENCE
Bryce Hamilton made his NBL debut with the Tasmania JackJumpers at 24 years of age. He scored 24 points in his first game.
Tasmania’s championship defence ended without a postseason appearance, with the JackJumpers finishing seventh at 13-16 before Clint Steindl (retired), Reuben Te Rangi (to New Zealand), Fabijan Krslovic (to Melbourne), Gorjok Gak (to South East Melbourne), Jordon Crawford (to Turkey) and Milton Doyle (to Melbourne) exited the club.
Coach Scott Roth added Nick Marshall (via Adelaide), Josh Bannan (via Brisbane), Ben Ayre (via South East Melbourne), Kobe Williamson (via Seattle), David Johnson (via Memphis), Bryce Hamilton (via Rostock) and Tyger Campbell (via Vechta). Will Magnay was appointed captain and Anthony Drmic vice-captain, while Sean Macdonald was ruled out for the season with a knee injury before the opening game.
Tasmania opened the season against Melbourne at MyState Bank Arena on September 18, where Hamilton (24 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block) impressed on his NBL debut, but United won 88-84 despite Johnson (22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal) and Bannan (9 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists) providing support, while Doyle (22 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists) led Melbourne.
Hamilton (18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists across 27 games) immediately became Tasmania’s leading scorer and main offensive weapon during his first NBL season.
Two days after his debut, Hamilton (26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals) scored 20 points after half-time and delivered the decisive late baskets at RAC Arena as Tasmania defeated Perth 75-72 for its first win, with Johnson (12 points, 1 steal, and 1 block) and Magnay (10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block) providing support, while Mason Jones (16 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists) was Perth’s leading scorer.
Hamilton (26 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block) produced another strong performance against Perth at MyState Bank Arena on October 29, with Bannan (15 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists) and Marshall (15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block) helping Tasmania remain competitive, while Jo Lual-Acuil Jr (23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block) led the Wildcats to a 95-84 win.
Hamilton’s best game came against South East Melbourne at the Silverdome on November 6, where he made four three-pointers and finished with 36 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal without attempting a free throw. Deng (17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, and 1 block) and Bannan (15 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals) provided support, while Sobey (28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals) led the Phoenix to a 103-102 win.
With Johnson sidelined early, TJ Starks (via Astana; 4.7 points across 7 games) joined Tasmania as an injury replacement before departing to join his team in China during November.
Hamilton’s final appearance came in Sydney on January 22, where he finished with 15 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists in 24:35 minutes before leaving the court with pain in his right knee as the Kings defeated Tasmania 105-94. Johnson (23 points and 7 rebounds) and Bannan (18 points and 15 rebounds) led the JackJumpers, while Davis (40 points and 8 assists) starred for Sydney before scans confirmed Hamilton had ruptured his ACL and would miss the remainder of the season.
Hamilton still led Tasmania in scoring and earned selection to the All-NBL Second Team, while Bannan (15.4 points and 9.5 rebounds across 34 games) appeared in every game and was named club MVP. Johnson (12.7 points and 3.8 rebounds across 23 games), Deng (10.8 points and 4.9 rebounds across 29 games), Campbell (10.4 points and 3.8 assists across 34 games), Marshall (10.4 points and 5.2 rebounds across 34 games), Magnay (10.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks across 24 games) and Ayre (6.3 points across 29 games) were the other main contributors, with Marshall winning the Coaches’ and Players’ awards, Deng named Fan Favourite and Magnay winning Defensive Player of the Year.
