Versatile prospect Josh Duach joins the Bullets

The Brisbane Bullets have signed 6'5" Australian combo guard Josh Duach as a Development Player ahead of Hungry Jack's NBL27.

The 23-year-old arrives in Brisbane having gained experience in the NBL with Melbourne United as well as the NCAA and, most recently, Austria's Superliga.

Those opportunities bookended a promising junior career, during which he represented Australia at age-group level and helped Victoria claim the Under-18 National Championship.

He is about to conclude an impressive NBL1 West campaign with the Goldfields Giants, establishing himself as one of the competition's premier guards.

There, he averages 19.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1 steal per game, highlighting his ability to impact contests across multiple facets of the game.

His standout performance came against the second-placed Rockingham Flames, where he exploded for 36 points, nine rebounds, four assists and a block in a dominant all-round display.

Prior to returning to Australia, Duach competed for Raiffeisen Flyers Wels in the Superliga, averaging 12.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2 assists and 0.8 steals per game while continuing to develop against quality international competition.

For Duach, joining the Bullets presents an exciting opportunity to continue his development.

“I’m really looking forward to this opportunity with the Bullets. It’s a great time to be joining the organisation,” he said.

“With Coach Weaver in place and a strong roster coming together, it's the perfect environment to be in. I know it’s the right place for me to keep learning, developing and growing alongside the people around me.

“Hopefully I can draw on the experience I’ve gained from my previous time in the NBL, contribute wherever I can and help the team achieve success.”

Head Coach and President of Basketball Operations Will Weaver believes Duach's versatility, professionalism and experience provide a strong platform for further growth.

"Josh impacts the game on both ends of the floor and across multiple positions, which speaks to his versatility, intelligence, and tenacity," Weaver said.

"He's gained valuable experience in a range of environments throughout his career and will be a great fit for our program. We're excited to help him continue his development and maximise his potential."

Duach's signing adds another promising Australian prospect to the Bullets' NBL27 roster as the Club continues to invest in emerging talent and build a strong foundation for the future.
