One of Australia’s best basketball players has signed a three-year contract with the Melbourne club.

The Melbourne team, represented last season by former Zalgiris Jock Landale, will defend the title.

Ms. Dellavedova will play in the Australian League after eight NBA seasons.

After graduating from Saint Mary’s University (Augustas Marčiulionis is expected to play there starting next season), Ms. Dellavedova was not invited to the NBA Rookie Exchange, but it soon became the strongest basketball league in the world. .

In 2013, Australia contributed to the Cleveland Cavaliers and helped the team win the NBA title three years later, when Cleveland basketball players defeated the Golden State Warriors in the final.

Dellavedova then played with the Milwaukee Bucks for seasons, and in 2018 he returned to the Cavaliers. He only played 13 games last season due to a neck injury.

During his NBA career, he scored 5.5 points and had 3.7 assists.
