Where To, Jack McVeigh?

Jack McVeigh and JJ's have agreed to part.

Where to, Jack?

USA seems to be a no-go. Is it Europe, Asia or can he now play elsewhere in the NBL?

I would say his either going to Japan or coming back to the nbl he wouldn't have needed a release to play in Europe most players have nba and Europe release clause’s already in there contracts the only nbl team that could afford him would be Perth

Cairns definitely have space on their roster and would be in huge need of someone they could marquee, and assumably the money to spend if they now have private ownership? But who really knows they are the mystery team of NBL 26.. and that's if he's eying off a return to the NBL?

Taipans and Hawks are the 2 in the running according to Olgun.

Yes, he said the other day in a Boomers interview that "this is where I belong" which seemed out of context. So, I have been thinking Brisbane as well.

The club statement also said:

"While the JackJumpers are disappointed Jack will not be returning to the club in the foreseeable future, the club would not unreasonably withhold a release."

The “forseeable future” bit seems a bit odd if he is going to another NBL Club.

So, maybe it is Japan as Baller said.

Perfect fit for Brisbane, Scout. Something else to like about Tassie! Not just because he's Jack McVeigh, a fabulous player, but also for how he would balance out this team. I have been spitting chips this off-season with the seeming hapless decisions made by the Bullets in their roster and coaching. Then suddenly, lately, they put some names together and now have a better-than-reasonable roster for the up-coming season.

Adding McVeigh (as the PF obviously), would allow Prather to go back to the SF, apparently his preferred position.
The roster and depth chart would be;

PG. Jaylen Adams/Mitch Norton/Savage/Devers
SG. Javon Freedom-Liberty/Sam MacDaniel/Taine Murray
SF. Casey Prather/Alex Ducas
PF. Jack McVeigh/Tohi Smith-Milner
C. Tyrell Harrison/Jacob Holt/Bradtke

Back on board!

Mind you, everyone could make a case for how Jack McVeigh could make their team a genuine ch'ip prospect. Sorta as big a deal as Cotton, I'd say. Probably more important, in the current context, as teams are going for their final pieces now.
