NBL EXPERIENCE
Tywain Mckee made his NBL debut with the Wollongong Hawks at 23 years of age. He scored 22 points in his first game.
In his lone NBL season Mckee helped finish in second place (16-12) in 2009/10 but suffered a season-ending back injury mid-season and was unable to play any postseason games. The Hawks signed journeyman guard Luke Martin to help compensate for McKee’s absence and the team still made it to the NBL Grand Final without their leading scorer but fell short in the deciding third game.
Tywain Mckee played one season in the NBL. He averaged 17.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 17 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.
