Taipans sign guard to multi-year deal

The Cairns Taipans on Wednesday announced the signing of Brody Nunn on a two-year deal.

The 23-year-old guard will be a development player during the Hungry Jack's NBL27 Season, before a mutual option for a second campaign in 2027-28.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Nunn represented Victoria at the 2020 U20 National Championships and averaged 11.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists.

He finished the event ranked fourth for scoring and 63 per cent from the perimeter, which stood as an all-time tournament record for six years.

The guard spent time at Sandringham's junior program and made his NBL1 South debut in 2021, playing five games as a Sabre before heading to Seattle University.

He played 10 games for the Division I school, scoring 11 points (three triples) in 16 minutes on debut.

Nunn returned home to join the reigning NBL1 South Champions Knox in 2024 to play alongside brother Bailey and work under coach and father Matt, finishing the season ranked third for perimeter shooting percentage at 43.8 per cent (for 50 attempts or more).

Signing with the JackJumpers as a development player for the 2024-25 NBL season, Nunn, who made 13 appearances during his time in Tasmania, continued to develop in both programs over the next two years, including in Knox's 2025 NBL1 South Finals run.

Averaging 12.6 points, 5.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.1 steals throughout the Raiders' recent 2026 campaign, Nunn now joins Luca Yates and Lloyd McVeigh on the 2026-27 Taipans development squad.

That trio are joined by Jack McVeigh, Keanu Pinder, Jonah Bolden, Sunday Dech, Reyne Smith, Kyrin Galloway, Shaun Bruce and Luke Paul on the Taipans' NBL27 roster.
