Right before we all lodge our predictions. Perfect timing. #NBL26. Perth are stacked. Jones is a stud.
Mason Jones - a 6’4 American guard – is finalising a deal with the Perth Wildcats, sources told ESPN. Jones is coming off a two-way deal with the Sacramento Kings; he averaged 23.6 ppg (44.7% 3PT; 8.4 3PA), 5.0 rpg, and 7.8 apg for the Stockton Kings in the NBA G-League.

Javon Freeman-Liberty was just born a 🪣. It’s as simple as that. Dude can score however he wants, whenever he wants. #NBL26.

Thank you mate. It’s an incredible story. I took a lot out of it.
Just finished watching @PeterHooley12 interview former NBL legend Paul Maley & his breast cancer diagnosis. Powerful piece on many levels. There is something universally serendipitous about ‘Hools’ & ‘the Mailmans’ paths intertwining to spread awareness about breast cancer. 🙏🏀.

A legend in every sense of the word ✨. Andrew Gaze AM OLY has given everything to our sport, and today it’s been announced he will be elevated to Legend status in the Sport Australia Hall of Fame — the first basketballer to receive the honour. Read ➡️

One thing I feel incredibly privileged to do is help facilitate amazing stories. But it's a story like this that will always standout. The Mailman opens up on his battle with breast cancer. Please take a moment to watch, you won't be disappointed.

So much talent in #NBL26, right across the board. It’s going to be special. With pre-season games beginning. Here’s just a couple new faces I’m keen to watch:. Bryce Hamilton is a stud. Hope he adapts quick .Javon F-L could lead the league in scoring.Schofield could be dominant.

We said it last year on Overtime and throughout the broadcasts, and I've seen a lot of people ask for it for #NBL26. There perhaps isn't a better time to introduce an All-Defensive team to the end of season awards. Brown III, McGee, Magnay, Ili, Doolittle, Swaka-Lo-Buluk, Kuol.🤯.
South East Melbourne's newest import is a name NBL fans - particularly those in Perth - will be familiar with. Phoenix fans are going to love the heart and hustle John Brown III brings to their team. READ:

Who makes your All-NBL First team in #NBL26? . There’s still a couple big signings to go, but give me your five, cause I’ve never struggled so much to narrow down this crop of talent to just 5 players. I want to say there’s a couple of locks, but maybe no such thing this season?.

The Taipans had been carefully monitoring McVeigh all off-season. Understanding his desire to get another NBA chance, they waited patiently, and then found a way to make it all work to lure the champion up north. Being patient doesn't always pay off. but it did here. Big time!.

The Taipans land their big plan A, bringing in a championship winner and Larry Sengstock medalist. Jack McVeigh is heading to FNQ and will lead an exciting local core. With some big potential import pieces to come…. Cairns did warn us they were going “all in” . #NBL26.
MARQUEE McVEIGH ✨🐍. Jack McVeigh has chosen CAIRNS in his anticipated return from the @NBA! 🥹. The Australian Boomer signs with the Taipans on a two-year deal:

Can't wait until they ask us for the early predictions ahead of #NBL26. I'll be sick that day. This is going to be one of the most competitive seasons we have ever seen. The talent is absolutely outrageous.

The first domino… stay tuned 👀 #NBL26.
Reyne Smith has agreed to a two-year deal with the Cairns Taipans, sources told ESPN. Team option on the second year. The 6’2 Australian guard averaged 13.1 ppg (37.9% 3PT, on 9.1 3PA) and 2.8 rpg as a senior at Louisville.

I was one take every time. This is AI.
Even though their coverage was elite, there was still plenty of bloopers from the boys in Vegas 🤣. @PeterHooley12 x @OlgunUluc x @derekrucker5 x @djbdarren

Wraps up another NBA Summer League. A hectic and full on 10 days here in Las Vegas. Thanks to everyone for coming along for the ride and enjoying the coverage. The next two weeks are going to be just as hectic, if not more…. #NBL26 is going to be special.

Will Magnay starting off really strong here in his first game of Summer League. This is a big watch for the JackJumpers, who have been actively preparing incase he gets the call up to the Grizzlies.

Really enjoyed this chat with Marc. Love his vision and passion for the club. Exciting times ahead for the Breakers. #NBL26.

Challenging calls in Summer League down 21 with 3 minutes to go… shouldn’t happen.
