Last season the forward averaged 9.8 points on 50 per cent shooting (40.5 per cent from three), 5.6 rebounds and three assists across 27 regular season appearances.

Melbourne United have struck another massive deal in NBL Free Agency, and have signed emerging talent Luke Travers to a three-year contract.

The signing of Travers follows the announcement of the re-signing of former NBL MVP candidate Jo Lual-Acuil Jr last week.

Travers – who was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2022 NBA Draft and was a finalist for the NBL’s inaugural Next Generation Award last season – will arrive at United after four seasons and 100 games at his hometown Perth Wildcats.

After initially joining Perth as a development player the 21-year-old became a crucial part of the Wildcats’ rotation under former head coach Scott Morrison in NBL22, which lead to him being drafted by the Cavaliers.

After playing the NBA Summer League with Cleveland ahead of NBL23, Travers experienced a massive jump in both responsibility and statistics under John Rillie.

Last season he averaged 9.8 points on 50 per cent shooting (40.5 per cent from three), 5.6 rebounds and three assists across 27 regular season appearances.
