NBL 2025/26: New stars on the court – who shines in the spotlight?

As the curtain rises on the upcoming 2025-26 National Basketball League (NBL) season, basketball fans worldwide can look forward to exciting new talent. A comprehensive ranking of the best newcomers shows that the league does not skimp on quality. Three-time NBA champion JaVale McGee is a high-profile player, but not the one at the top of this list. Instead, Mason Jones and Javon Freeman-Liberty will share the top spot, while Campbell, Johnson and Hamilton will take on central roles as the Tasmania JackJumpers prepare for a challenging season.

In the ranking of new arrivals from Fox Sports was published, Mason Jones (SG/PG, 193 cm, 91 kg) shines with his impressive G-League performances of 21.8 points and 50.1% shooting rate. He is followed by the versatile Javon Freeman-Liberty (SG/PG, 191 cm, 86 kg) with robust averages of 20.6 points in the G-League. The list provides an in-depth look at the league's promising talent who are coming overseas and looking to raise the level.

Talented newcomers to the NBL

Here is an overview of the top 10 new imports:

  • 10. Tyger Campbell (PG, 180 cm, 25 Jahre): 8,7 PPG in der Pre-Season, Erfahrung aus UCLA.
  • 9. Tyson Walker (PG, 185 cm, 24 Jahre): Stark in der G-League mit 16,2 PPG.
  • 8. David Johnson (SG, 193 cm, 24 Jahre): Durchbruch in der G-League mit 13,8 PPG.
  • 7. Jesse Edwards (C, 211 cm, 25 Jahre): Beeindruckt mit 14,6 PPG und 10 RPG in der Pre-Season.
  • 6. Bryce Hamilton (SG, 193 cm, 24 Jahre): 17,1 PPG mit den Rostock Seawolves in Deutschland.
  • 5. Admiral Schofield (F, 196 cm, 28 Jahre): Kommt von NBA-Teams, stark in der G-League.
  • 4. Izaiah Brockington (SG, 193 cm, 26 Jahre): Kampfgeist in der CEBL.
  • 3. JaVale McGee (C, 213 cm, 37 Jahre): Erfahren und effektiv mit 17,2 PPG in Puerto Rico.
  • 2. Javon Freeman-Liberty (SG/PG, 191 cm, 25 Jahre): Überragt in der G-League mit einer Wurfquote von 45,9%.
  • 1. Mason Jones (SG/PG, 193 cm, 27 Jahre): Der absolute Top-Import der Saison.

Things will be particularly exciting at the Tasmania JackJumpers. Coach Scott Roth is preparing the team to replace key players on the roster. Expectations are high, especially for combo guard Bryce Hamilton, described by ESPN analyst Olgun Uluc as an “absolute star.” With his international reputation and strong performances in the G-League, he is predicted to have a significant impact in the NBL.

Challenges for the JackJumpers

Additionally, Tyger Campbell, who takes over for the injured Sean Macdonald, will be under scrutiny. Campbell brings valuable playing experience from Germany and France and could become a fan favorite for the JackJumpers. Despite the loss of some key players, the team is optimistic about the season, although the question remains whether they can overcome the health challenges. Uluc and his colleague Hooley emphasize the need for squad depth, while players such as Ben Ayre and Nick Marshall are eager to prove their abilities in the league's decision-making process.

The 2025-26 NBL season promises excitement and passion. It will be a competition for fame and honor in which both the new talents and the established stars fight for the crown. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from the basketball world!
