Roth analyzes JackJumpers defeat: Growth ahead of rankings!”
The Tasmania JackJumpers have been through a lot in the last few games. They are currently in sixth place in the NBL with a game record of 5 wins and 6 losses. However, coach Scott Roth talks less about table positions or the series of three defeats that the team recently suffered. Instead, his focus is on continually improving the team and the positive aspects of the game. Roth has never broached the subject of the standings with his players in the last five years, showing that the long-term process is his priority, as nbl.com.au reports.
In its last game against South East Melbourne, the team narrowly lost 91 to 89. A decider in which Ben Ayre had the chance to win, but his throw did not clear the rim. Despite the defeat, Roth praised his players' aggressiveness and intensity, particularly their comeback performance when they overcame a six-point deficit in the final minutes. The performance of import player Bryce Hamilton was particularly pleasing, as he delivered a brilliant performance with 36 points and 8 rebounds without going to the free throw line.
New arrival with a lot of potential
The JackJumpers recently completed their roster for the 2025-26 season with former G-League guard Bryce Hamilton. Hamilton, 24 years old and 1.93 m tall, is described as a versatile player who can play multiple positions. He signed a one-year contract to strengthen the team. He spent the last two seasons playing in Europe, averaging 17.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game with the Rostock Seawolves. His last game in Germany was particularly impressive, where he scored 45 points, according to jackjumpers.com.au.
General Manager Basketball Darren Smith expressed excitement about Hamilton's skills and leadership on the court. Before his stint in Europe, Hamilton spent two years with the South Bay Lakers in the G League, where he averaged 16.2 points per game. He is expected to arrive in Tasmania in early August to prepare for the upcoming NBL226 pre-season.
A look ahead to the next games
The JackJumpers face another challenge: next Saturday they face Brisbane at the MyState Bank Arena. The game starts at 5:30pm AEDT and will be broadcast live on ESPN.
