NBL EXPERIENCE
Josh Roberts made his NBL debut with the Cairns Taipans at 24 years of age. He scored five points in his first game.
Roberts played his high school basketball at Montverde Academy where he led the Eagles to the national championship with a 32-0 record in 2017-18.
“We went through a lot of candidates this season looking for the right fit. During our character checks, one person referred to Josh as having a ‘enthusiastic approach’ to defence. You see this in his ability to defend screens and in support filling the gaps to then close out his man,” said coach Adam Forde upon signing Roberts.
Josh Roberts played one season in the NBL. He averaged 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.2 assists in 22 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.
