Back in Australia, he continued to hone his craft with the Willetton Tigers in the Western Australian Basketball League (WABL). Here, Aaron demonstrated his versatile play style, with notable ball handling and decision-making capabilities off the perimeter, as well as his defensive prowess around the rim.
