NBL EXPERIENCE
Jarrell Brantley made his NBL debut with the New Zealand Breakers at 26 years of age. He scored six points in his first game.
After finishing the previous season at the bottom of the ladder with a 5-23 record, New Zealand entered its first campaign with regular home games in two years following the departure of head coach Dan Shamir and the promotion of assistant Mody Maor. The Breakers lost six of their top eight scorers, with Yanni Wetzell (to Spain), Hugo Besson (to France), Peyton Siva (to Illawarra), Finn Delany (to Germany), Ousmane Dieng (to Oklahoma City) and Chasson Randle (to Denver) departing, leaving Thomas Abercrombie, Robert Loe and William McDowell-White as the main returning members of the rotation.
Maor added Tom Vodanovich (via Sydney), Izayah Le’Afa (via South East Melbourne) and Cameron Gliddon (via South East Melbourne), while Dererk Pardon (via Israel) and Barry Brown Jr were recruited as imports and French prospect Rayan Rupert joined through the NBL Next Stars program. Abercrombie suffered a torn retina during the preseason and missed the opening month.
Jarrell Brantley signed a one-year deal with New Zealand after playing for the Greensboro Swarm and appearing for the Los Angeles Clippers during the NBA Summer League. Maor identified Brantley as his number-one target to replace Delany and expected him to take a major leadership role within the team.
“What most people don’t know is how tough, how competitive, and how good a leader and culture setter Jarrell is,” Maor said.
New Zealand opened the season against Melbourne at John Cain Arena on October 2, where Brantley (6 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists) made his NBL debut as Pardon (23 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks) and Brown Jr (23 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists) led the Breakers, while Xavier Rathan-Mayes (33 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block) and Chris Goulding (24 points) carried United to a 101-97 overtime victory.
Brantley (16.3 points, 6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.6 blocks across 35 games) immediately became New Zealand’s starting power forward and one of the leaders of Maor’s rebuilt roster, providing physical interior play, perimeter scoring and defensive versatility as the Breakers developed into the league’s best defensive team.
The Breakers played their first game in New Zealand in 489 days at Spark Arena on October 7, where Brantley (19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal) led the scoring as Le’Afa (16 points and 4 rebounds) and Brown Jr (13 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals) helped New Zealand defeat Tasmania 71-65, while Jack McVeigh (19 points and 6 rebounds) and Rashard Kelly (13 points and 10 rebounds) led the JackJumpers.
Brantley’s brother Jamaal joined New Zealand as an injury replacement for Brown Jr during October. When Jamaal entered the Breakers’ win against Illawarra, the brothers became the first pair of imports to play together in an NBL game.
“My brother being here has been tremendous. I grew up playing basketball because of him,” Brantley said.
