NBL EXPERIENCE
Mikyle Mcintosh made his NBL debut with the Tasmania JackJumpers at 27 years of age. He scored four points in his first game.
Tasmania entered the NBL as the league’s newest expansion side under former Perth Wildcats assistant Scott Roth, with multiple betting agencies offering 400:1 odds on them winning the championship. Roth built the inaugural roster around imports Josh Adams (via Bologna), Josh Magette (via Darüşşafaka) and MiKyle McIntosh (via Le Portel), alongside Will Magnay (via Perth), Jack McVeigh (via Adelaide), Clint Steindl (via Perth), Sam McDaniel (via Melbourne), Jarrad Weeks (via Sydney), Fabijan Krslovic (via Cairns) and Jarred Bairstow (via Perth). McIntosh completed Tasmania’s import trio after signing a one-year deal on August 12. “We have a really strong roster and I believe my skillset fits in well with the group,” McIntosh said.
Tasmania opened its first NBL season against Brisbane at MyState Bank Arena on December 3, where McIntosh (4 points and 4 rebounds) came off the bench as the JackJumpers defeated the Bullets 83-74 in overtime. Adams (20 points), Magette (19 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists) and Magnay (10 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks) led Tasmania, while Sobey (24 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists) was Brisbane’s best.
McIntosh (8.7 points and 3.8 rebounds across 34 games) appeared in every regular-season and playoff game and did not miss a game through injury or illness, coming off the bench in all 28 regular-season games before making his only start in the final game of the Grand Final series. His first months in Tasmania were difficult, scoring in double figures only once during his first 11 games as the JackJumpers fell to a 2-6 record and pressure grew around his import position. Magnay (7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks across 11 games) was then lost for the season with a knee injury, forcing Roth to move Tasmania away from its reliance on perimeter shooting towards a more balanced approach. Roth continued to back McIntosh despite having a number of difficult conversations with him about his role, and his form improved as he became more comfortable coming off the bench. “As soon as I started doing well in practice everything turned around,” McIntosh said.
McIntosh’s turnaround became clear against defending champion Melbourne at John Cain Arena on February 6, where McIntosh (16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block) scored 13 points in the first half as Tasmania produced a 36-point opening quarter and defeated United 94-85 for its fourth consecutive victory. McVeigh (17 points and 2 steals), Adams (16 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists) and Magette (11 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists) helped Tasmania move into finals contention, while Goulding (29 points) and Lual-Acuil Jr (26 points, 21 rebounds, and 2 blocks) led Melbourne.

McIntosh matched his season-high scoring output against Brisbane at Nissan Arena on February 26, shooting 9-of-11 from the field and finishing with 21 points and 2 rebounds. McVeigh (21 points) and Magette (15 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals) provided support, but Franks (23 points and 11 rebounds), Patterson (16 points, 3 rebounds, and 10 assists) and Deng (14 points and 5 rebounds) led Brisbane to a 94-86 victory.
A week later at the Silverdome, McIntosh (21 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal) again led Tasmania in scoring, shooting 7-of-12 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line as the JackJumpers defeated New Zealand 66-62 in front of 3,532 fans, the largest NBL crowd in Launceston at the time. Weeks (9 points and 5 rebounds) and Steindl (9 points and 4 rebounds) provided support on a night Tasmania shot just 3-of-27 from three-point range, while Randle (18 points and 4 rebounds), Dieng (17 points and 9 rebounds) and Loe (12 points and 7 rebounds) led the Breakers. The victory kept Tasmania’s finals hopes alive after a recent cold streak had threatened to derail its top-four push.
McIntosh’s best all-around game of the season came in Tasmania’s final scheduled regular-season game against first-placed Melbourne at MyState Bank Arena on April 23, where McIntosh (20 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals) shot 9-of-17 from the field as the JackJumpers defeated United 83-61. Adams (19 points and 1 block), Magette (14 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists) and McDaniel (11 points, 4 assists, and 2 steals) helped Tasmania complete a run of 10 wins from its final 12 games and finish its schedule with a 17-11 record, while Agada (22 points and 8 rebounds) led Melbourne.
Adams (17.5 points and 3.3 rebounds across 34 games) led Tasmania in scoring, earned All-NBL Second Team honours and later won the JackJumpers’ inaugural club MVP, while McVeigh (12.2 points and 4.8 rebounds across 33 games) received the Gametime by Kmart Award and was voted Fan Favourite. Magette (11.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.4 steals across 34 games) controlled the offence, while Steindl (9 points across 34 games) provided scoring off the bench. Kenyon (3.6 points and 3.5 rebounds across 32 games) was named the club’s Defensive Player of the Year, Krslovic (4 points and 3.9 rebounds across 33 games) received the Coaches Award and Weeks (3.4 points across 33 games) received the Players Award, while McIntosh finished fifth in the club’s MVP voting with 77 votes. Roth was named NBL Coach of the Year.
Despite winning 17 games, Tasmania still needed Perth to lose its final game to reach the postseason. South East Melbourne defeated the Wildcats 102-100 in overtime the following day, ending Perth’s 35-year playoff streak and allowing the JackJumpers to move into fourth place on points percentage in their inaugural season.
Game one of the semifinals moved to John Cain Arena, where McIntosh (7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block), Adams (16 points and 5 rebounds) and McVeigh (15 points and 4 rebounds) led Tasmania, while Agada (16 points and 7 rebounds), Lual-Acuil Jr (15 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 blocks) and Dellavedova (11 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists) led defending champion Melbourne to a 74-63 victory.
Game two returned to MyState Bank Arena, where McIntosh (13 points and 1 block) scored five straight points late in the fourth quarter as Tasmania defeated Melbourne 79-72 to even the series. McVeigh (15 points), Magette (12 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals), Steindl (11 points) and Kenyon (10 points) gave the JackJumpers five double-figure scorers, while Goulding (18 points), Agada (14 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists) and Lual-Acuil Jr (13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks) led Melbourne. The victory made Tasmania the first expansion club to win a finals game during its inaugural season.
Game three returned to John Cain Arena, where Melbourne captain Chris Goulding suffered a calf injury during warmups and was ruled out. McIntosh (5 points and 9 rebounds) helped Tasmania on the boards, while Adams (30 points), McVeigh (16 points) and Magette (9 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals) led the JackJumpers. Ili (18 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists), Lual-Acuil Jr (16 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks) and White (14 points and 15 rebounds) led Melbourne before Tasmania won 76-73 and advanced to the Grand Final in its first NBL season.
The Grand Final series opened at Qudos Bank Arena, where McIntosh (14 points and 4 rebounds) and McVeigh (14 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals) led Tasmania in scoring, with Adams (13 points and 8 rebounds) and Steindl (13 points and 4 rebounds) also contributing. Jaylen Adams (18 points) led Sydney before suffering a left hamstring injury in the fourth quarter that ruled him out for the remainder of the series, while Clark (17 points and 2 steals) and Cooks (14 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists) helped the Kings win 95-78. McVeigh also suffered a shoulder injury during the fourth quarter and did not return.
Game two moved to MyState Bank Arena for the first NBL Grand Final game played in Hobart, where McIntosh (3 points and 4 rebounds) came off the bench as Adams (36 points), Weeks (11 points), McVeigh (10 points and 8 rebounds) and Magette (10 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists) led Tasmania. Cooks (20 points and 11 rebounds), Martin (20 points and 10 rebounds) and Vasiljevic (20 points and 5 rebounds) led Sydney before Vasiljevic hit a long-range three-pointer with eight seconds remaining to secure a 90-86 victory. The result was Sydney’s 12th consecutive road victory, the most away wins by a team during a single NBL season.

The flu swept through Tasmania ahead of game three at Qudos Bank Arena, ruling McVeigh and Krslovic out while Kenyon was also unwell and Bairstow played through a sprained ankle. McIntosh (14 points and 8 rebounds) made his only start of the season and played 34 minutes, with Adams (27 points, 3 assists, and 2 steals) and Magette (12 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, and 6 steals) leading the depleted JackJumpers. Cooks (23 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 blocks), Martin (22 points and 17 rebounds) and Clark (22 points and 3 assists) led Sydney to a 97-88 victory in front of an NBL Grand Final record crowd of 16,149, completing the 3-0 sweep and delivering the Kings their first championship in 17 years, with Cooks named Grand Final MVP. Cooks and Martin combined for 45 points and 30 rebounds.

COLLEGE
MiKyle McIntosh began his NCAA career at Illinois State after being ruled a non-qualifier by the NCAA in October 2013, which required him to sit out the 2013–14 season and effectively redshirt his first year with the Redbirds.
He debuted on the court in 2014–15 and was one of only two Illinois State players to appear in all 35 games, averaging 5.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game while earning Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week honours on January 12, 2014.
As a sophomore in 2015–16, McIntosh’s role expanded sharply, starting 26 games and earning MVC Most-Improved Team captain recognition while boosting his production to around 10.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, with Illinois State noting improvements across his shooting splits and his defensive activity totals compared to the prior season.
His sophomore season included two career-best 25-point performances, and he was also credited with 16 blocks and 20 steals through the team’s first 31 games while continuing to develop into a two-way forward in the Missouri Valley rotation.
McIntosh’s junior season in 2016–17 became his breakout year, as he averaged 12.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per game and earned Second Team All-Missouri Valley Conference and NABC All-District 16 Second Team honours while Illinois State won a school-record 28 games and captured the MVC regular-season title.
During that 2016–17 campaign, he scored in double figures in 20 games and topped 20 points four times, highlighted by a career-high 31 points on 9-of-13 shooting in a win at Indiana State, plus a double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds against San Francisco.
On January 16, 2017, McIntosh was named MVC Player of the Week after posting 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists in a win over Wichita State, and later in the season he blocked a career-high five shots while recording 12 points and nine rebounds in a win over Drake.
His season was briefly interrupted when he missed five straight games after undergoing surgery on February 1 to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, before returning to score nine points in 22 minutes in a win at Missouri State on February 15.
McIntosh was a major contributor during Illinois State’s postseason run, scoring 15 points in the MVC Tournament semifinal win over Southern Illinois and then adding 16 points and seven rebounds in the MVC Tournament championship game against Wichita State, before posting 13 points and eight rebounds in the NIT first-round win over UC Irvine.
After finishing his Illinois State career with 916 points, McIntosh used the NCAA graduate transfer pathway and chose Oregon for the 2017–18 season after also considering an offer from Oklahoma, stepping into a Pac-12 role as an experienced frontcourt scorer and rebounder.
At Oregon in 2017–18, he averaged 11.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, with his rebounding rate ranking 18th in the Pac-12 overall and his 6.7 rebounds per game in conference play ranking 12th in the league, while his 119 personal fouls tied an Oregon single-season record.
His top scoring performance for the Ducks came at Marquette, where he scored a season-high 25 points and set career highs by going 15-of-18 at the free-throw line, and he also delivered a 23-point game at USC that included 4-of-5 shooting from three while tying his career high with nine made field goals.
McIntosh produced key late-season and tournament performances for Oregon, averaging 19.0 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in the Pac-12 Tournament and scoring 21 points in the semifinal against USC, and he also recorded multiple double-doubles during the season including 10 points and 11 rebounds against Connecticut and 12 points with a career-high 13 rebounds in a win at No. 11 Arizona State.
Across his combined Illinois State and Oregon career, McIntosh established himself as a high-usage scoring forward with conference-level awards and multiple notable single-game peaks, while also navigating an NCAA redshirt year and injury interruptions before finishing his eligibility in the Pac-12.
