Deng Manyang

The 17-year-old is one of the more exciting prospects in the country and now will earn a first opportunity in the NBL as a development player with the Adelaide 36ers.

Is one of eight children in a family that resettled before he was born in Adelaide from Kenya and that includes eldest brother Magok who is joining him with the 36ers for NBL26.

He already stands 6'7 and could well still be growing with tremendous length and exciting all-round skill set having led the Central District Lions to the Under-18 Club Championship win in 2024.

On the back of that, stepped up to play in the NBL1 Central with Centrals in 2025 where he produced 9.8 points and 4.9 rebounds a game in over 19 minutes ahead of now earning a development player spot at the 36ers.
