NBLxNBL1 Wrap: NBL23 Round 2

By NBL Media

After a massive round of NBL action, take a look at some of the standout performances from NBL1 stars in NBL23. 

Lachlan Dent 

After a career-high performance in Round 1, Lachlan Dent made his first career start against the Phoenix on Thursday. In the 13-point win, Dent had seven points and five dimes as the Brisbane Capitals superstar is already making a significant impact in NBL23. 

Dent continued his hot shooting on Saturday at RAC Arena against the Wildcats, putting up 11 points and shooting 3/7 from the arc.

Lachlan Barker 

Replacing the NBL1 South MVP Shea Ili in Melbourne United’s lineup, Lachie Barker has been stepping in big-time for his NBL squad. The Frankston Blues star had 10 points in the loss to the Kings and will be a flammable piece of the bench for Melbourne this season.

Jordan Hunter 

The athleticism and defensive instincts Jordan Hunter showed with the North Gold Coast Seahawks were on full display in Round 2. He scored 11 points on Friday against the Bullets and threw down a massive dunk on Sunday against United. 

Hunter looks fully healthy and fully ready to dominate NBL23 with the reigning champions.

Jason Cadee 

The NBL1 North Finals MVP brought all his Gold Coast Rollers swagger into NBL23. In Round 2 Jason Cadee had 16 points against the Kings on Friday and 14 points against the JackJumpers, shooting 3/3 from downtown. 

The Bullets are currently 0-3 but their NBL1 stars continue to keep things close, with DJ Mitchell and Devondrick Walker consistently providing key minutes for Brisbane so far.

Michael Harris 

The NBL1 South First-Teamer Michael Harris made his debut for the Perth Wildcats in the final game of Round 2, draining two triples in the massive win at home over the Taipans. 

The Wildcats have been hampered by injuries, which saw Willetton Tigers star Oliver Hayes-Brown and Michael Harris get their first minutes of NBL23 action. 

The Mount Gambier Pioneers superstar will be a sharpshooter off the bench for Perth this season, and if this performance is any indication, we’ll likely see Harris continue to get minutes and open looks this season. 

Michael Harris drops three for his first points as a Perth Wildcat!
