Kody Stattmann, a 25-year-old American guard for the Cairns Taipans, is a lengthy and versatile wing with great size at 6'8" and 201 pounds. Wearing number 6, Stattmann's frame allows him to play multiple positions, from shooting guard to small forward, and he is known for his smooth shooting stroke and defensive potential. His journey took him from Australia to a major American college program, where he served as a valuable three-and-D prospect off the bench. He showed flashes of his scoring ability with efficient shooting performances and used his length to be a disruptive defender on the perimeter. Returning to Australia to play professionally in the NBL, he has found a significant role with the Taipans, where he is tasked with being a primary scoring option and a defensive stopper. His main honors include representing Australia at the junior national level and establishing himself as a key player in one of the world's top domestic leagues. Stattmann's game is that of a modern swingman—a capable shooter who can guard multiple positions and is continuing to add strength and off-the-dribble creativity to his arsenal.
