It’s exciting to see 10 weeks of growth - both in the gym, and on the court. Check out Tui Howe’s mid season highlights for dunks, swishes, blocks and more!

Player Details: #32 | SG
Shooting 45% from 3PT against New Zealand’s top players, as well as having the chance to play alongside such great team mates, made this tournament a special one. Ranked 8th for scoring, and named as a rising star player was icing on the cake. And entering the 3-point contest was a great chance to shoot in front of a crowd.
I’m grateful to everyone who helped me to grow my game in my junior high year, especially after coming back from injury. I learnt to keep going, and keep chasing dreams, and never let set backs get in the way.
Tui’s personal best for 3PT accuracy is 80% from 3-point (at a National level). Meanwhile his personal best for most 3-points per game is eight.
These days he consistently shoots five to six three’s per game - and adds additional value with dunks and other rim-driving activity … as well as creating opportunities for team mates.
Playing in the U17 year old National Championships, as a 15 year old, to represent our capital city - Wellington - was pretty epic!
It was even more epic to go into an unheard of triple overtime playoff game. Tui took the court again in OT to secure two clutch 3’s - and contribute to taking home a 5th place win for Wellington.
