The 23-year-old forward is preparing for his first NBL season as a development player with the Adelaide 36ers, on the back of a standout NBL1 Central campaign.

Made the move to Adelaide this off-season to play in the NBL1 Central competition at the North Adelaide Rockets, and his performances couldn’t be ignored by the 36ers.

Standing at 204 centimetres and with great length and an ability to rebound, defend, score and showing terrific athleticism, he quickly became a standout at the Rockets going on to average 15.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals a game.

That included a best of 27 points, 11 rebounds and four assists against the Forestville Eagles, and the younger brother of Port Adelaide AFL star Aliir Aliir will now look to grab whatever chances come his way to begin his NBL career.
