NBL EXPERIENCE
Jamaal Robateau made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 26 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.
After missing the playoffs with a 15-13 record the previous season, Brisbane rebuilt around Nathan Sobey under coach Andrej Lemanis, adding Anthony Drmic and Harry Froling (both via Adelaide), Tanner Krebs (via St Mary’s), Tamuri Wigness and imports Orlando Johnson and Vic Law after Cam Gliddon (to South East Melbourne), Lamar Patterson (to New Zealand), Reuben Te Rangi (to South East Melbourne), Will Magnay (to New Orleans), Mika Vukona (to Southern Districts), Taylor Braun (to Israel) and EJ Singler (to NZNBL) departed.
Robateau joined Brisbane from the Sunshine Coast Phoenix in March after Orlando Johnson was released and Patterson returned (via New Zealand) while still recovering from an MCL injury. With Patterson unavailable for another three games, the Bullets added Robateau to the playing roster as a short-term replacement.
Robateau’s best game also came in his NBL debut against New Zealand at Nissan Arena on March 20. Robateau (0 points and 2 rebounds) played 1 minute as Froling (20 points and 4 rebounds) and Hodgson (16 points, 10 rebounds, and 2 blocks) helped Brisbane defeat the Breakers 88-67, while Tai Webster (19 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists) led New Zealand.
Robateau (0 points across 2 games) was not sidelined by injury during his short stint with Brisbane, with his limited opportunities instead coming from his role as temporary roster depth while Patterson recovered. His only other appearance came against Illawarra on March 29, where he played 1 minute without recording a point as Brisbane lost 96-72.
Sobey (21.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists) led Brisbane, while Law (18.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks), Patterson (13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals) and Drmic (10.1 points and 3.1 rebounds) were among the team’s other major contributors.
Robateau did not play in Brisbane’s final game against South East Melbourne on June 8, where Patterson (19 points and 3 assists) and Sobey (16 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists) led the Bullets, while Mitchell Creek (17 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists) was the Phoenix’s best as Brisbane won 94-84 and finished sixth with an 18-18 record.
