NBL EXPERIENCE
Troy Boundy made his NBL debut with the Cairns Taipans at 23 years of age. He scored 10 points in his first game.
Cairns junior Troy Boundy earned an opportunity in the NBL when the Taipans entered the competition for the first time in 1999/00. Having previously played with Cairns in the state leagues between 1996 and 1998, Boundy was among the local players selected to join head coach Rod Popp’s inaugural squad. The expansion club brought in American imports Ricky Robinson and Rashamel Jones, appointed former Newcastle guard Terry Johnson as captain and added experienced big man Andre Moore, who had gained Australian citizenship in 1999. Grant Kruger (via Newcastle), Aaron Grabau, Nik Mirich and Tim Duggan were among the other players assembled for Cairns’ first season in the national competition.
Boundy made his NBL debut against the Melbourne Tigers at Melbourne Park on October 2 and produced his best overall and highest-scoring performance of the season. He finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, two steals and one block in 29 minutes, shooting 5-of-10 from the field and collecting four offensive rebounds. Robinson led Cairns with 16 points, nine rebounds and three assists, while Johnson contributed 13 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Melbourne was led by Andrew Gaze, who recorded 33 points, five rebounds and 10 assists, as the Tigers defeated Cairns 98-71. Despite the loss, Boundy’s debut accounted for the majority of his scoring and rebounding production during his first NBL campaign.
Boundy (3.5 points across four games) was used sparingly after the season opener, with his playing time falling from almost 29 minutes against Melbourne to just 11 minutes in Cairns’ first home game against the Sydney Kings on October 12. He contributed two points, one rebound and one assist, while Robinson led the Taipans with 25 points, seven rebounds and three assists and Johnson added 23 points. Sydney’s Matthew Nielsen finished with 21 points, five rebounds and two assists, helping the Kings claim a 104-78 victory at the Cairns Convention Centre.
After a brief scoreless appearance against Perth, Boundy played his fourth and final game of the season against the Adelaide 36ers at Adelaide Arena on October 23. He recorded two points, one rebound and one assist in 14 minutes, making both free-throw attempts. Johnson led Cairns with 29 points, five rebounds and six assists, including five three-pointers, while Jones contributed 14 points, six rebounds and four assists. Adelaide received 17 points, six rebounds and three assists from David Stiff, with the defending champions defeating Cairns 91-84.
Boundy’s four appearances produced 14 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 58 minutes. He did not return to the lineup after October, with the Taipans continuing to adjust their rotation as the season progressed. The club’s first victory came against Sydney on November 13, while a December roster change saw Robinson released and Al Hamilton signed as his replacement. Cairns secured its second win against Brisbane on December 27 but was unable to build on either result.
The Taipans finished their inaugural regular season in 11th and last place with a 2-26 record, missing the playoffs after losing their final 13 games. Boundy did not appear in the season finale against Townsville at the Cairns Convention Centre on March 10, where Jones led Cairns with 22 points, 10 rebounds and five assists and Moore added 17 points and 14 rebounds. Townsville was led by Andrew Goodwin, who finished with 21 points, three rebounds and six assists, as the Crocodiles defeated Cairns 99-87 to close the Taipans’ first NBL campaign.
Troy Boundy played two seasons with the Cairns Taipans. He averaged 2 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 9 NBL games.
