Tyler Harvey entered the NBL by storm, taking the Illawarra Hawks to the semi-finals and finishing runner-up in MVP voting after a season where the team finished dead last.
Since that time, he’s consistently been among the league’s highest scorers, and he’s, without a doubt, one of the greatest shooters the league’s ever seen.
Tyler enters his fourth season with the Hawks and has averaged 18.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.8 assists since entering the league in 2021.
