NBL EXPERIENCE
Duop Reath made his NBL debut with the Illawarra Hawks at 25 years of age. He scored 18 points in his first game.
After nearly knocking off the Perth Wildcats and progressing to the Finals of NBL21, the Illawarra Hawks look primed and ready to progress even further in the upcoming season.
After a brilliant debut season, Tyler Harvey, the team’s leading scorer, was inked to a three-year deal and paired with import additions Antonius Cleveland and Travis Trice. Before the season began Trice was released from his contract after refusing to receive the COVID vaccine. Xavier Rathan-Mayes was signed as his replacement. Other additions included Harry Froling (via Brisbane) joining his brother Sam in Hawks colours and Duop Reath (via Serbia) joining the team after a impressive Boomers campaign.
Coming into the league off the back of a Bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics and ambitions to get into the NBA, the Reath started the season on fire averaging 19.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game in his first four games. Star guard Tyler Harvey however, found his second year in the NBL a little more challenging, seeing his scoring numbers dip from 20.4 points per game, to 16.1 but still led the team in scoring.
Club legend Tim Coenraad (3.9 points and 2.2 rebounds) was not included in the team’s full roster, but was later named as a injury replacement. He was elevated to full roster once again due to a season ending knee injury suffered by Daniel Grida.
Other notables for the Hawks saw a significant improvement from Next Star Justinian Jessup (13.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.2 steals) in his second season and Sam Froling (8.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks) bounced back from a injury plagued season to become a major part of the frontcourt rotation.
Illawarra finished the season in second place (19-9), before suffering another disappointing exit in the semi finals, this time by by cross-town rivals, Sydney.
Reath (15.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks) collected the Hawks MVP award at the end of the season while Antonius Cleveland (14.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks) was awarded the Damian Martin Trophy for Defensive Player of the Year and also named to the All-NBL First Team.
Duop Reath played one season in the NBL. He averaged 15.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 30 NBL games.
CAREER RANKINGS:
– 46th in blocks per game.

FIBA EXPERIENCE
Reath made his debut with Australias national team at the 2020 Olympics (Japan), where the team began their campaign by going undefeated, securing wins over Nigeria (84–67), Italy (86-83) and Germany (89–76). Behind the offensive firepower of Patty Mills (19 points), Australia then defeated Argentina (97–59) to advance to the semi finals. There, they lost to a star studded US team (97–78) which featured Kevin Durant (23 points), Devin Booker (20 points) and Jayson Tatum (11 points). Mills (20 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists) was again the top scorer for Australia. This set up a game against Slovenia for the bronze medal, where Luka Doncic (22 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists) and Mills (42 points, 3 rebounds, and 9 assists) led their respective countries in scoring, but Australia would make history, winning the game (107-93) and making history by securing the Boomers first Olympic medal. Joe Ingles (16 points and 9 rebounds), Jock Landale (14 points and 5 rebounds) and Matisse Thybulle (11 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals) were also key contributors in the medal winning game.
In 2024, Reath was selected as a part of the 22-player Boomers squad that prepared for the Paris 2024 Olympics.)
