Former Ohio State forward Jae’Sean Tate was named to the NBL’s First-Team this past weekend.
The NBL, or National Basketball League, is an Oceanic professional basketball league with teams from New Zealand and Australia. If you’ve lost track of the human floor-burn since he left Ohio State, he’s now playing for the Sydney Kings and has had a whale of a season.
He’s averaged 16.4 points, 2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game for a team that has been the best in the NBL this year, leading all teams from start to finish and clinching home-court advantage for the entirety of the playoffs.
Congrats @o_tate_ on making 1st Team! https://t.co/OyoA0jnPzK

Tate may not have found a home in the states, but you always knew he had a game that would translate well somewhere, and it appears he’s found his home down-under in Australia.
