NBL stars to watch

Dejan Vasiljevic - NBL1 Central
The Adelaide 36ers’ leading man, Dejan Vasiljevic, will give Adelaide fans something they can enjoy this off-season, as he’ll be suiting up in the NBL1 Central for the Forestville Eagles. Vasiljevic will join former 36ers player Daniel Johnson to hopefully take the Eagles to a championship. 

Isaac White - NBL1 West
Brisbane Bullets’ Isaac White will be playing out West this NBL1 season with the Rockingham Flames. He made the move to sign with the Flames after playing for the NBL1 North’s conference champions the Mackay Meteors last season. White was a key piece in the Meteors team last season, as he averaged 24.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. 

Dillon Stith - NBL1 South
After scoring a season with the Cairns Taipans in NBL25, Stith has remained with the NBL1 South’s Casey Cavaliers. He averaged 18.9 points and 7.7 rebounds, before impressing former Taipans head coach Adam Forde. 

Todd Withers - NBL1 West
Perth Wildcats’ Todd Withers will stick to the West in the off-season as he signed with the Warwick Senators with fellow Wildcat Elijah Pepper. Withers was huge in moments during this past NBL season, as he stepped up in the absence of Bryce Cotton and Dylan Windler due to injuries. 

Kobe McDowell-White - NBL1 East
The young Illawarra Hawk will represent the club in the NBL1 this season, an emerging star who played in the NBL1 North last season for the Sunshine Coast Phoenix, and averaged 15.6 points with 6.1 assists.
