(Dandenong, Victoria, Australia - May 8, 2025) - Former Trailblazer guard
Justin Bieker has signed a professional contract with The Community Bank Dingley Village Dandenong Rangers for the remainder of the 2025 NBL1 South season in Australia.
Bieker, who closed out his six-year collegiate career playing his final season as a Trailblazer after five seasons at San Francisco, played in all 33 games this past season while making 23 starts.
Known for his perimeter defense, court vision, and ability to knock down shots under pressure, Bieker is expected to be a key contributor in the Rangers' backcourt this season.
"Justin is a terrific addition to our roster," said Rangers Head Coach Samantha Woosnam. "He's a gritty, high-character player who brings toughness and composure. We have had a rough start to the season and a couple of injuries to key players has opened up a roster spot. I'm looking forward to Justin bringing his team-first playing style to our group."
Bieker ranked sixth on the team in both points per game (6.7) and rebounds per game (2.7) and tied for third on the club with 1.7 assists per game.
He shot 37.4 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from the behind the arc with his 37 made three-pointers ranking third-most on the team.
Bieker scored in double figures in 10 contests with a season-high 19 points in his return to his hometown at Portland State on Nov. 30 and hit a season-best four three-pointers at Utah State on Dec. 7.
Bieker will look to make his debut with the Rangers on Saturday against the Geelong United at 3 a.m. MT.
