Tasmania JackJumpers sign rising talent Kobe Williamson

The Tasmania JackJumpers are pleased to announce the signing of exciting young Centre Kobe Williamson on a two year contract. 

6’8” Williamson will soon graduate from Seattle University where he has averaged 9.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in his Senior year. 

“Kobe is a promising young big with huge potential” Chief Operating Officer, Darren Smith said. 

“He’s a strong, physical player who will improve our rebounding on both ends and add depth in our bigs rotation”. 

“We’re excited to support his development and see the impact he can make in a JackJumpers jersey.” 

Originally from Melbourne, the 23 year old played for Australia in junior representative teams including the 2018 FIBA Asia Cup, where the team won gold. 

Williamson shared his excitement about joining the JackJumpers. 

“I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait to get to work with the coaching staff and my new teammates. 

“I’ve kept an eye on what the JackJumpers have built and feel like it’s something really special so I’m excited to be part of it” he said. 

Williamson will join Tasmania in late July ahead of the club’s NBL26 preseason.
