JackJumpers pick up former second-round NBA draft pick
A former second-round NBA draft pick has inked an import deal with the Tasmania JackJumpers, saying the team's "defend the island" culture was a big carrot. American guard David Johnson on Tuesday signed a one-year contract with the island state for the 2025/26 NBL season. The 24-year-old was picked at No.47 in the 2021 NBA draft by the Toronto Raptors and played two NBA games for the team. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tasmania JackJumpers (@jackjumpers) He was most recently with the Memphis Hustle in the NBA's G League, and averaged 16.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 28 appearances during 2024/2025. Johnson said he got in touch with Tasmania coach Scott Roth, who coined the rallying cry "defend the island". "I've heard only great things about the fans and the state so I'm really excited to play for something bigger than myself and represent Tasmania," Johnson said. "(It) really feels like the fans are a huge part of the team. I can't wait to get down there and defend the island." Kentucky-born Johnson's signing comes a day after the JackJumpers announced NBL championship-winning import Jordon Crawford would not be offered a new contract. "(Johnson has) got strong instincts, high basketball IQ, great ability to run the floor and be an on-court leader," Tasmania's chief operating officer Darren Smith said. Tasmania have shaken up their roster after finishing seventh in 2024/25, the franchise's worst result in their short four-season history. Inaugural skipper Clint Steindl has retired, while Fabijan Krslovic, Gorjok Gak, Reuben Te Rangi and Crawford have found new NBL clubs. The JackJumpers, who won the championship in their third season, have added Ben Ayre, Josh Bannan, Nick Marshall and young Aussie talent Kobe Williamson from Seattle.

‘It will make big news': King Charles' throne speech will thrust Canada into global spotlight Tuesday
King Charles and Prime Minister Mark Carney speak as they view a community gathering at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa during a royal visit on Monday, May 26, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang The throne speech doesn't usually make international headlines but when King Charles III flies from Britain to Canada to deliver it, it generates some attention. 'It will make big news in Canada and it already has and it's already making news in the United Kingdom, in Britain and across the world,' said Cape Breton political science professor emeritus David Johnson, an expert in the Canadian constitution and the Monarch. That national and international attention may be exactly what new prime minister Mark Carney wants, said Dalhousie University political scientist and professor Lori Turnbull. 'Not everyone might sit down and watch the throne speech, but everyone will see it,' said Turnbull. 'It will appear on the news, it will appear in clippings, and it will appear on social media, and it will penetrate people's general awareness about politics, like you are not going to be able to miss it.' Carney is no stranger to the world stage or the Royal Family. In 2013, it was Queen Elizabeth II who approved his appointment as governor of the Bank of England after serving as governor of the Bank of Canada. 'He's got relationships with these people already,' said Turnbull. 'He (Carney) is known internationally as someone who is a fixer and can handle crisis and he is extremely intelligent.' It's those elite connections that are expected to help Carney confront some major global challenges. It's not just his economic expertise but also his ability to negotiate with other world leaders and stand up to Donald Trump – which many attribute to why he won the federal election. Canadians know the U.S. president has repeatedly suggested Canada become the 51st state, sparking strong reactions here. Having King Charles deliver the throne speech is a powerful symbol says Johnson and one that shows Canada's distinct identity and constitutional difference from our American neighbours. 'Trump will be listening,' said Johnson about the speech. 'And this Canadian message about sovereignty and our independence and our constitution being fundamentally different from the American constitution will be highlighted.' Prime Minister Carney, along with the Governor General Mary Simon, welcomed their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Ottawa Monday afternoon. On Tuesday King Charles lll will deliver the speech from the throne.
