Will McDowell-White praises the NBL1 pathway

NBL star Will McDowell-White has been one of the shining examples of using the NBL1 to progress his career into stardom.

Coming off the NBL23 season where he led his New Zealand Breakers to the Championship Series, taking the Sydney Kings to a game five where he averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and five assists in the series. 

In a half-time interview during the NBL1 North Game of the Week, McDowell-White explained how the NBL1 has helped him progress in his career. 

“The talent level is high, a lot of people get picked up in this league," he said.

“Anyone who wants to make that next step, NBL1. It’s legit”
