36ers Add Owen Hulland as Development Player

South Australian young talent Owen Hulland has signed with the Adelaide 36ers.

The 21-year-old joins the roster as a development player for the 2020-21 season.

The 212cm forward was recently at the University of Hawaii before coming back to Adelaide to train with the Adelaide 36ers squad.

Head Coach Conner Henry said during the substantial off season, it gave the coaches a really good chance to see Owen develop and train with the team.

“Owen came in and practiced with us and made a mark on our coaching staff, as well as our players,” Henry said.

Owen also impressed in the Adelaide 36ers first practice match against Brisbane Bullets in November. He was the second-highest scorer behind Daniel Johnson for the team with 15 points with 3 rebounds.

Hulland spent two seasons at the University of Hawaii after attending the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence in Canberra.

The big man scored a career-high 14 points for Hawaii against UCLA in 2018.

In 2017 and 2018, Hulland attended the NBL Next Gen camp in Melbourne, showcasing his skills in front of Club decision makers before heading to College.

Owen Hullund joins a completed roster of Daniel Johnson, Jack McVeigh, Sunday Dech, Keanu Pinder, Isaac Humphries, Josh Giddey, Donald Sloan, Tony Crocker, Brendan Teys and Daniel Dillion.
