The Cairns foundation

Waardenburg’s Taipans years showed a combination of outside shooting and rim protection. Injury restricted his final Cairns season, so its averages came from a smaller set of appearances.

A new United frontcourt

United signed Waardenburg for three years with a mutual option in the third. He described winning and playing alongside experienced teammates as central to his decision. His previous Cairns games remain attached to the Taipans, while Melbourne figures are shown in their own season.
