BIO: Jason Cameron was born in Mackay (QLD) and began playing basketball as a junior with the Mackay basketball program. Cameron received a scholarship to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra) in 1992. He spent one year there and played for the program’s state league team.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Jason Cameron made his NBL debut with the Brisbane Bullets at 17 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.

Cameron first played in the National Basketball League during the 1991 season as a development player for the Brisbane Bullets.

He received limited opportunities in his first season, as the Bullets failed to make the playoffs with a win/loss record of 13–13 and a ninth-place finish.

In two games for Brisbane, he played a total of 155 seconds and recorded one rebound while missing both field goals he attempted.

Jason Cameron, or ‘JC’ as his known, was a man ahead of his time.

Before the game changed to focus more on the three-point shot, Cameron was a elite-shooting big man.

Jason Cameron played nine seasons in the NBL. He averaged 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 207 NBL games.
