Brad Newley
Brad Newley (born 18 February 1985) is an Australian former professional basketball player. After starting his career in Australia with the Townsville Crocodiles, Newley was drafted 54th overall by the Houston Rockets in the 2007 NBA draft. He never played in the NBA and instead carved out a career in Europe, playing in Greece, Turkey, Lithuania, and Spain between 2007 and 2016. Between 2016 and 2024, he played in the National Basketball League (NBL) for the Sydney Kings and Melbourne United.
Newley was born in Adelaide, South Australia, in the suburb of Lower Mitcham. During his primary school days, he lived in South Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland. He attended Mountain Creek State High School on the Sunshine Coast before moving back to Adelaide and attending Pasadena High School. He attended Pasadena alongside future NBA player Joe Ingles.
In 2002, Newley played in the Central ABL for the Forestville Eagles. He moved to Canberra in 2003 to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and Lake Ginninderra Secondary College. He played for the AIS men's team in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL), averaging 17.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game in 2003, and 24.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game in 2004. To cap off a successful 2004 SEABL season, Newley earned All-Eastern Conference first team honours and won the East Men's Australian Under-23 Youth Player of the Year award.
Following the 2004 SEABL season, Newley joined the Townsville Crocodiles of the National Basketball League (NBL). In the 2004–05 season, he was the MVP of the league's All-Star Game and earned Rookie of the Year and Best Sixth Man honours, becoming the first player in league history to win both awards. In 35 games, he averaged 16.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.
