Offensive Game
Reliable interior scorer who finishes with efficiency around the rim. Developing mid-range game and pick-and-roll touch make him a consistent complementary threat.

Olympic bronze with Australia (2020)

Agreed to return to the Hawks after a 2025-26 season split between Memphis (45 games, 25 starts) and Atlanta.

Landale is the steady backup center a deep playoff rotation quietly needs — a skilled Australian big with soft touch, sturdy screens, and enough passing feel to operate out of the short roll. He went undrafted out of Saint Mary's, sharpened his game in the NBL, and won bronze with the Boomers at the 2020 Olympics before carving an NBA path through San Antonio, Phoenix, and Houston. The 2025-26 season was his busiest yet: he started 45 games for Memphis, then was traded to Atlanta at February's deadline and tied his career high with 26 points in his Hawks debut. Atlanta liked the fit enough to re-sign him for 2026-27. He won't stretch the floor to the arc, but his interior scoring and screen-setting travel to any roster.
Offensive Game
Reliable interior scorer who finishes with efficiency around the rim. Developing mid-range game and pick-and-roll touch make him a consistent complementary threat.
Defensive Game
Solid positional big who understands rotations and uses his size to occupy the paint. Not an elite rim protector but is rarely out of position.
Intangibles
Elite basketball IQ developed through years of professional competition across multiple countries and leagues. Among the most professionally prepared players on the roster.

Did You Know?
Jock Landale took one of the most unusual paths to the NBA in recent memory — from Melbourne to Saint Mary''s College to European leagues to the NBL before the San Antonio Spurs signed him in 2022 at age 26.
He is a key member of the Australian national team, the Boomers, who won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics — one of the proudest achievements in Australian basketball history.
His name is genuinely Jock — not a nickname, not a sporting moniker, but the actual given name on his birth certificate, which has made him one of the more memorably named players in the NBA.
The fact that Landale spent years in European and Australian professional leagues before the NBA means he arrived with more professional seasoning than most NBA veterans twice his experience level.
