Dillon Boucher
Teams: Auckland Stars & NZ Breakers (Australia)
Position: Forward
Born: December 27, 1975 in New Plymouth
Height: 1.96m
Boucher reigns supreme in chaos.
In 2007, he was toppled as NBL leader in steals, a crown he had worn for the previous four years, but this non-stop hustler is capable of stuffing the stat columns in all categories.
Boucher holds the record for most number of NBL titles won (eight) and was Final MVP when the Auckland Stars captured the 2005 championship.
He was voted Kiwi MVP and member of the All-Star Five in the 2003 league, and again made the All-Star Five in 2007.
Boucher played two seasons for the NZ Breakers before jumping to Perth Wildcats, then became the first Kiwi to claim an Australian NBL championship with the Brisbane Bullets in 2006/07. He has re-joined the Breakers for the 2008/09 season.
After nearly 100 games for the Tall Blacks, including two world championships, the Athens Olympics and the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Boucher retired from international play in 2008, but immediately joined the coaching staff as video technician.
