NBL EXPERIENCE
Stephen Weigh made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 21 years of age. He scored three points in his first game.
He started his NBL career in 2008 after a two-year college stint at Utah.
Weigh averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists during the 2009/10 season, his second in the NBL, and helped guide the Wildcat’s to a first place finish (17-11) in the regular season. The Wildcats defeated the fourth placed Gold Coast Blaze in two straight games with Weigh scoring 9 points in the second game of the series, sending the team into the NBL Grand Final to face the Wollongong Hawks.
Perth claimed game one comfortably with a 75–64 win at home despite Weigh playing poorly, failing to score in 21 minutes of playing time. The series then moved to Wollongong for game two, where the Hawks returned the favour, defeating Perth 75–63 and setting up a deciding Game 3. Weigh scored 10 points in the second game in a nice return to form. Back on their home court Perth comfortably defeated Wollongong in the decider, 96–72, with Weigh adding 13 points and 7 rebounds, and his Wildcats teammate Kevin Lisch was named Finals MVP after averaging 18 points and 4 rebounds over the three game series.
After two seasons with the 36ers, Weigh returned to his home state of Queensland and played out his final five seasons with the Cairns Taipans.
Stephen Weigh played ten seasons across three NBL teams. This included the Perth Wildcats, Adelaide 36ers and Cairns Taipans. He averaged 8.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 276 NBL games.
