Devondrick Walker locked in for NBL23

The Brisbane Bullets are pleased to welcome Devondrick Walker to the Club for NBL23 on a one-year deal.

Walker had a standout season in the NBL1 West this season, named NBL1 West MVP and selected in the All Star Five after leading the league in points scored, averaging 27 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game.

The sharpshooter also led the Rockingham Flames to the NBL1 West Championship, claiming the NBL1 West Grand Final MVP with 26 points (53% from the field) and 4 steals.

The 196cm wing has featured in the NBL previously. He signed with the Perth Wildcats for the 2017-18 season before a foot injury prevented him from making his NBL debut. In 2019/20, Walker joined the South East Melbourne Phoenix midway through the season averaging 7.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

Walker spent four seasons in the NBA G-League, named Most Improved Player in the 2016-2017 season, before plying his trade in Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand and Latvia.

He also competed at NBA Summer League with the Utah Jazz in 2017 and Philadelphia 76ers in 2018.

“Devondrick’s past NBL experience is a key reason for adding him to our roster. He understands the league and his shooting will help space the floor for us to be more effective,” General Manager of Basketball Sam Mackinnon said.

Hostplus Head Coach James Duncan said Walker complemented an already exciting roster. 

“Devondrick’s length, athleticism and ability to stretch the floor are key attributes that will help our squad,” Duncan said.

“We’re eager to have him join the group and start building chemistry ahead of the season,” 

Walker is looking forward to getting to Brisbane and joining the squad.

“I’m definitely excited for the opportunity. Looking forward to getting a fresh start with a hungry group of guys,” Walker said.

“Outside of my athletic ability, that led me to this moment. Bullets fans can expect a positive mindset, winning mentality, and constant desire to get better.”

Devondrick Walker joins Aron Baynes, Tyler Johnson, Nathan Sobey, Jason Cadee, Tyrrell Harrison, Tanner Krebs, DJ Mitchell, Harry Froling, Kody Stattmann, Gorjok Gak and development player Lual Diing on the Brisbane Bullets 2022/23 roster.
