NBL EXPERIENCE
Seth Scott made his NBL debut with the Melbourne Tigers at 30 years of age. He scored 17 points in his first game.
In 2012, the Melbourne Tigers signed big man Seth Scott to form a dominant frontcourt alongside Matt Burston and newly signed forward Adam Ballinger aimed at providing not only size inside but perimeter scoring as well. The big man experiment didn’t quite go to plan, with the Tigers finishing with a losing record (12-16) and missing out on the NBL playoffs.
Seth Scott played one season in the NBL. He averaged 11.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 0.9 assists in 27 NBL games.

As a sophomore in 2001–02 at Utah Valley, he averaged 12.4 points and 5.9 rebounds and was described as an All-Conference forward, with conference-only totals showing 233 points across 16 league games (14.6 per game) and 97 total rebounds (6.1 per game).
