NBL EXPERIENCE
Nick Tenner made his NBL debut with the Melbourne Tigers at 20 years of age. He scored two points in his first game.
In 1992, Tenner averaged 1.3 points and 1.0 rebounds as a rookie and helped guide the Tigers to a third place finish in the regular season with a 15-9 record.
In Tenner’s second season he saw little playing time, averaging 0.2 points and 0.5 rebounds but was a part of the Melbourne Tigers first championship which saw Lindsay Gaze and his son Andrew complete a decade long journey to win Australia’s oldest basketball club its first national championship.
In Tenner’s third season he averaged 1.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0 assists as Melbourne finished 1994 on top of the ladder with a record of 19-7. The Tigers would eliminate the Illawarra Hawks in easy fashion during the quarter-finals, 107-85 in game one and 119-83 In game two, but ran into a incredibally talented (and deep) Adelaide 36ers team which featured Rob Rose, Mark Davis, Willie Simmons, Phil Smyth, Brett Maher and Chris Blakemore in the semifinals.
Adelaide defeated Melbourne 101-88 in game one in Adelaide and 110-101 in game two in Melbourne.
With Melbourne losing Mark Bradtke for all but nine games in 1995 as he supported his wife Nicole’s tennis career. Tenner continued to see limited playing time as the Tigers limped home with a 14-12 record (eighth), their worst result since 1988. Melbourne would go on to lose to the Perth Wildcats 1-2 in the Quarter-Finals.
Nick Tenner played four seasons with the Melbourne Tigers.
