Brodie Mcgregor

Some Hawks development deals come with a blank slate. Brodie McGregor's comes with a family tree. His father Scott McGregor played 413 games across 14 NBL seasons, the kind of career that makes a surname mean something in this league before a son has played a single senior minute of his own.

Brodie has started making sure it means something on its own terms too. In August 2026, wearing Gold Coast Rollers colours, he swept Ipswich Force 2-0 in the NBL1 North Grand Final series, scoring 17 points in both games. In the decider, the one that actually closes out a championship, he went 5 for 6 from the field and a perfect 7 for 7 from the free throw line. That's not a nervous teenager hanging on. That's a 19-year-old, just turned 19 that August, playing like the moment was made for him.

The Family Name, Carried Forward

Two seasons at Gold Coast built the platform. A Queensland Under 20 representative honour along the way confirmed the pathway credentials were real, not inherited. Now it's Illawarra's turn, on a two season deal with a club option pending league approval, the same development pipeline that has already produced contributors like William Hickey and Johny Narkle for the Hawks.

First Minutes In Green And Gold

His first appearance in Hawks colours came in a preseason hit out against Saint Mary's Gaels, a modest 1 for 2 shooting night that will mean nothing by the time the real minutes start arriving. Development deals aren't judged on preseason box scores. They're judged on what the player looks like eighteen months in, and on the evidence of a Grand Final series won on merit, McGregor arrives with more proof of readiness than most.

First Season In Numbers

NBL1 North Grand Final Series 2026 (Gold Coast Rollers) – 2 games, 17 pts in each, 5-6 FG and 7-7 FT in the deciding game, ChampionshipHawks preseason debut – 1-2 FG (vs Saint Mary's Gaels)

Scott McGregor's son is chasing his own 413 games now, starting from a title.
