NBL EXPERIENCE
Dylan Rigdon made his NBL debut with the Illawarra Hawks on 14/6/1997. He scored 23 points in his first game.
After another season missing out on the NBL playoffs in 1996, the Hawks were unable to retain their scoring and rebounding leader Marcus Timmons (who would end up leading the Melbourne Tigers to the championship that season) and were forced to move into a rebuilding phase for this season. The Hawks rebuilding would focus on the continued development of Hawks big man Matt Zauner, who was named team captain at the start of the season, and young stars Glen Saville and Mat Campbell. The Hawks chose not to re-sign 31-year-old Andre LaFleur and signed two young imports in guard Bryan Edwards and big man Clayton Ritter to replace the scoring and rebounding of Timmons. The team also added SEABL stawart Eric Cooks who had played under head coach Brendan Joyce during his time with the Ballarat Miners in state league competition, a team which had also included both Saville and Campbell.
By mid-season it was clear Edwards was not the fit needed at point guard and he was replaced by Rigdon after 15 games. Rigdon contributed 19.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.7 assists over the Hawks final 13 games but with the Hawks off to a slow start and off-court issues between Zauner and Joyce stemming from a contract dispute the Hawks limped home, mustering only a 7 win, 23 loss record.
Dylan Rigdon played one season in the NBL. He averaged 19.8 points, 4 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in 15 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.
