Supercats gun inks two more years in NBL1

THE Geelong United Supercats have locked in one of its home-grown talents for two more years as she embarks on her first international stint professionally.

Supercats forward Eve Braslis has inked a two-year deal with her home club ahead of her first European season with Icelandic Premier League club Grindavik.

At just 23, Braslis is fresh off an impressive 2023 campaign, posting averages of 17.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game from 58.1 per cent shooting.

Braslis said the prospect of another NBL1 South championship push spurred on her decision to re-join the Supercats.

“I really enjoyed this last season, and I love being able to play in front of our home crowd, it’s the best crowd in the NBL1 South.

“I love the small town feel, in that I see people on a Tuesday night at community level, or I see them when they come into work.

“I’m really forward to what season 2024 holds for Geelong United.”

Braslis was a standout in the GUB Community Competition with Pivot City in 2023 and will re-join Geelong United following a European winter in Iceland.

“I was looking for somewhere to play in the offseason, and I’ve always wanted to play in Europe,” she said.

“I’m really looking forward to living in a new country and being able to explore the world while continuing my basketball career.

“The chance to develop my game with players and coaches with different backgrounds and experiences really excites me.”
