The 26-year-old American has played 10 NBA games with the Brooklyn Nets in 2017-18 and has G League experience with the Long Island Nets and the Windy City Bulls and played Summer League with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Standing at 6'4, Doyle has also played in Spain and Italy and is the starting shooting guard for Gaziantep Basketbol in the Turkish Super League.

"I think I bring playmaking ability, being able to get guys involved and create my own shot and play defence, be able to help the team out in a majority of ways - so a little bit of everything," he said.

"I think you can't win unless you have [team-first] guys surrounded by you, so I try and be that to be that kind of guy and help other players out on the court and allow me to be helped by them also."

Doyle first considered the NBL as an option after having an Australian coach in the G League.

He feels the competition will be pretty similar to those that he's played in previously and actually watched some of the JackJumpers' matches last year, due to a teammate being a close friend of Josh Magette.

When asked what he'd heard about Tasmania, the new recruit only had pleasant things to say.

"I heard that the food is great, just talking to a couple of guys that play out there and talking to Josh," he said.

"I heard that the environment is great, the people are nice out there and it's a nice, chill, calm place to be.

"I think it will be a great environment for me and my family to come out there."

Landing the JackJumpers' third import for next season alongside Magette and mid-week signing Rashard Kelly, coach Scott Roth was 'ecstatic' to secure Doyle.

"I've followed him for the last few years and I really believed he was going to stick in the NBA ... I tracked him the last two or three years and kept his name on our radar," he said.

"I just thought he'd be a great fit, he's getting married in July, he has two young kids that are going to come into Tasmania and be a part of our family.

"He'll just give us some more size across the front line and is another family guy who's humble, goes about his business and is really smooth.

"I think he's going to be a great asset to the community and to us and I'm excited to get him down to Tasmania as soon as possible."

Building an attractive culture has always been at the top of Roth's list and with Doyle having heard positive things about the JackJumpers, it's seemingly working.

"Our guys just bonded very quickly and rallied around the things that we thought were important [like] representing the state and making sure that we were a team for all of Tasmania," he said.

"Our coaches a couple of days ago got back from Melbourne and spent some time with an AFL team there and their players were talking about the culture that we built.

"It's been talked about all around Australia, not just in Tasmania, and it's a credit to our players and the front office and those people of driving it.

"We'll get better of it, we'll continue to drive it and Milton fits in at being hungry and humble and a perfect fit for us."

Currently in the US, Roth returns to Tasmania on July 20, with training to resume from August 15.
