Cairns star Jack McVeigh joins Courtney Ward on NBL Now, presented by CODE Sports, to unpack the team meeting that sparked the Taipans’ turnaround, learning to lead on the floor, and why he reckons Jonah Bolden is the Taipans’ best player right now.

McVeigh also opens up about 17-year-old Luke Paul’s “aura”, why anyone can beat anyone in the NBL, his Boomers and NBA goals, and how becoming a dad has changed him on and off the court.
