Top Australian prospect Alex Toohey, a projected second round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, returns for the Sydney Kings in the 2024-25 NBL season.

After deciding not to enter last year’s Draft, Toohey is expected to have a breakout campaign for Sydney and rise up the draft boards this season.

Toohey, a 6-foot-8 forward, developed his game at the NBA Global Academy and participated in the 2023 Nike Hoop Summit prior to joining the NBL Next Stars program in NBL24.

He was MVP of the 2022 U20 Australian Junior Championships and has represented Australia in FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.

"He's a winner and a gamer. He may not wow you with his athleticism or strength, but he’s stronger than he looks, more athletic than you give him credit for, and he’s just going to figure it out. He’s going to succeed in whatever position he’s in. He’s a good teammate, he’s super coachable and he’s versatile … you see he’s able to pick up the ball and go the length of the court, simple crossovers to get himself to the bucket. Nothing fancy, just fundamental and solid. He doesn’t turn the ball over, makes good decisions. He’s the type of player you need to win in games.”

Marshall Cho
2023 Nike Hoops Summit Team World assistant coach

"Alex is poised to be the next big thing in Australian basketball and his signing is another indication of how strong and respected our Next Stars program is. Basketball has never been stronger in Australia and Alex represents the next wave of exciting talent coming through. He possesses a versatile skillset and will be an instant difference maker on both ends of the floor for the Kings."

Jeremy Loeliger
NBL Commissioner

"Alex is an elite young talent and someone we have been recruiting for a while. There is a collective focus to continue developing Alex’s game, allowing him the best opportunity to achieve his NBA aspirations – at the same time, we feel he will have an immediate impact on court. We are intentional with our signings, and Alex fills a lot of needs for us. We strongly believe he will contribute to winning."

Chris Pongrass
Sydney Kings CEO
