Daryl Corletto (born 24 August 1981) is an Australian-British professional basketball player for the Plymouth Raiders of the British Basketball League (BBL).
Growing up in Altona Meadows, playing for the Werribee Devils, Corletto's key influence in his life as he chased his dreams of playing professional basketball was his father. Corletto noted in November 2014, "Dad always told me that if I worked hard I could reach my goals. He was the one waking me up at 6am and driving me to training. He was even still waking me up when I was old enough to drive myself."
It wasn't until he joined the Melbourne Tigers junior squad at age 16 that Corletto's career really started to blossom. Corletto was a member of the Victorian Championship State Team in 1996 and 1998, and was selected to join the all-Australian youth team in 1998 and 2000.
After playing in the Big V State Championship division for the Werribee Devils in 2001, Corletto joined the Melbourne Tigers of the National Basketball League (NBL) for the 2001/02 season. Over his first two NBL seasons, Corletto appeared in just 13 games. During this time, he continued on in the Big V during the NBL off-season, playing for Werribee in 2002 and Ringwood in 2003—the 2003 Big V season saw Corletto average a career-best 33.5 points per game.
Corletto's third season in the NBL, the 2003/04 campaign, saw him play in 27 games for the Tigers while averaging 2.1 points per game. He became an important cog for Melbourne from the 2004/05 season onwards, as he averaged 7.0 points in 34 games that year before going on to average 11.2 points per game in 2005/06 (an NBL career high for Corletto), 10.4 points per game in 2006/07, and 9.0 points per game in 2007/08. During this three-year run, Corletto appeared in 37 games each season and helped lead the Tigers to three straight NBL Grand Final series, winning championships in 2006 and 2008. The Tigers went on to reach the 2009 Grand Final as well, where they were defeated 3–2 by the South Dragons.
