Description

The Illawarra Hawks are making moves — JaQuori McLaughlin is locked in as an import guard, JaVale McGee is bringing his championship DNA to the Gong, and Coach Justin Tatum isn’t holding back after a heated scrimmage with the Sydney Kings.

We dive into:

• McLaughlin’s journey from Washington high school star to the NBL.
• How Tatum plans to unleash JaVale as a defensive anchor and culture-setter.
• The controversy over “non-basketball plays” and protecting marquee imports.
• Bryce Cotton finally becoming an Aussie — what it means for Perth and Adelaide.
• The Hawks’ looming showdowns with Flamengo and a stacked G League United squad.

Hot takes, player deep dives, and all the NBL storylines that matter — live from the Gong.
