The Brisbane Bullets continue to form a team with former NBA players. If a few days ago they closed the hiring of Aron Baynes, now they have announced the arrival of Tyler Johnson, who had been playing the American competition for eight seasons.
The escort, who begins a new adventure, is convinced of this important step in his career. “After having a great conversation with James Duncan and Sam (team coach and assistant), he was excited about the direction this team is going. I have heard many good things about the NBL and I want to be part of the growth of this league », he comments.
The truth is that his career in the NBA has been going downhill. In his early days, playing for the Miami Heat, he stood out as a two-way player that seemed destined to have weight in the league. However, the passing of the years has slowed down such initial euphoria to the point of experiencing an almost unprecedented 2021-22 campaign, since he played only six games divided between the Philadelphia 76ers and the San Antonio Spurs.
Johnson’s recent context does not diminish the illusion in the Australian team, as his coach, James Duncan, makes clear. “The addition of Tyler is another exciting move. He brings a lot to the team with his shooting, vision on the pitch and versatility, qualities that will help our team tremendously. In addition, he has a very good defensive instinct and arrives wanting to compete », he sentences.
