Brisbane Lands Another Key Signing

The Brisbane Bullets have added another key player to their roster, securing Sam McDaniel on a two-year deal.

McDaniel joins Isaac White in making the move from the Tasmania JackJumpers, where he spent the last two seasons.

Prior to that, he was key to Melbourne United’s Championship success in NBL21. 

“Sam is one of the first players I thought of to help impact and change the way we defend as a club,” Brisbane coach Justin Schueller said. 

“I’ve been in the fire with Sam (at Melbourne) and won with him, he has the habits and mindset we need and knows what championship success looks like.

“I can’t wait for fans to see how he impacts winning.”

McDaniel has played 117 NBL games across five seasons, and was a key part of the JackJumpers’ inaugural campaign, taking the floor 28 times.

He played 14 games this season, including four finals appearances.  

“I chose to join the Bullets because I see it as an organisation where I can impact winning and help bring a winning culture back to,” McDaniel said. 

“I pride myself on playing hard every game and I think I can bring tenacity, aggressiveness and versatility on the court along with a defensive mindset.” 

Sam McDaniel joins Isaac White, Aron Baynes, Nathan Sobey, Tyrell Harrison and DJ Mitchell on the Bullets’ NBL24 roster.
