Craig Moller took a punt on basketball 10 years ago and it proved to be an inspired move.

Before that, well, the Otago Nuggets forward punted a football around.

The 31-year-old Australian appeared destined to have a career in the Australian Football League.

He was picked up by the Fremantle Football Club on a three-year scholarship when he was just 14 and was taken by the club in the 2013 rookie draft.

His career petered out a little and he switched to basketball in early 2016. He trained with the Sydney Kings and made his debut late in the season.

Moller had a toehold on the league and signed a three-year deal to play for Melbourne United in 2017.

He returned to the Kings for a couple of years and has played professionally in Germany. He holds a German passport, which is handy.

Moller was first sighted in New Zealand in 2019.…
