While the high-profile signings of Bryce Cotton, Zylan Cheatham and Montrezl Harrell have dominated headlines at the Adelaide 36ers, Flynn Cameron is quietly shaping as one of the off-season\u2019s most valuable additions.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old guard has flashed his undeniable talent across two seasons with Melbourne United and now looks ready for more consistent opportunities to showcase his game at the top level.<\/p>\n

A 28-point performance for the New Zealand Tall Blacks against Chinese Taipei at the FIBA Asia Cup was a clear reminder of his potential.<\/p>\n

In just 26 minutes on court, Cameron came close to a triple-double with 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals, while finishing with a team-high +30 plus-minus rating.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlynn had a great second half. I think he only had six or seven points at the half. And he just, from all over the place, offensive rebound here, nice little right-hand dunk in transition \u2026 three balls,\u201d Damon Lowery said on NBL Now.<\/p>\n

\u201cFlynn is going to go to Adelaide and he’s in a very stacked kind of backcourt, but he’s letting the coach know, Mike Wells know, \u2018I’m ready to go, man\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood international experience with Flynn.”<\/p>\n

Cameron, Mojave King and New Zealand Breaker Taylor Britt have been standouts in an unbeaten run to the Quarter-Finals for the Tall Blacks.<\/p>\n

Like Cameron, Britt enters the Hungry Jack\u2019s NBL season with high expectations.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can just tell how dangerous he is,\u201d Lowery said.<\/p>\n

Britt has averaged 19.3 points per game during the Asia Cup, setting the tone for his first NBL campaign since 2021.<\/p>\n
