Shaun Bruce joins Logan Thunder

The Logan Thunder have signed NBL guard Shaun Bruce for the 2021 NBL1 North season.

Bruce is currently playing for the Sydney Kings in the NBL and has played over 200 games for the Cairns Taipans, Brisbane Bullets, Adelaide 36ers and Kings.

Bruce was the Queensland Basketball League MVP in 2017 in a season that saw him register regular triple doubles. Bruce joins the Thunder as an elite point guard that is a proven NBL star and winner.

With a starting back court of Bruce and Jeremy Kendle, the Thunder men will have one of the best back court combinations in the NBL1 North in 2021. Bruce will join the Thunder at the conclusion of the Sydney Kings 2021 NBL campaign.

“Brucey is one of the best teammates I was fortunate enough to play with in the National Basketball League,” Logan GM Mitch Young said.

“As well as being a great teammate, he is a great person. Recruiting a superstar who has such a high level of character is incredible for our program.

“The flow on effect to our younger developing players on our roster such as Tane Kirisome, Boston Mazlin and junior Thunder representative players, who will be fortunate to be able to learn from Bruce during his time with the Thunder.

“Bruce is an elite point guard who can run a team, score, defend, create and will make everyone else on our roster instantly better. We feel that the pairing of Bruce and Jeremy Kendle in our backcourt will give us the best backcourt in the league.

“Our Thunder fans will be able to see two of the best perimeter players in the league and two genuine NBL stars in a high octane Thunder line up unlike anything before.”
