BIO: Tyler Robertson was born in Melbourne (VIC). Robertson started his hoops journey with the Warrandyte Venom and Dandenong Rangers before going on to represent Victoria Metropolitan from 2015 to 2018 – which led to two gold and one silver medals as captain of the side.
As a teenager, Leaupepe played for Kevin Goorjian (brother of Brian) alongside fellow NBL talent Keli Leaupepe at Box Hill Senior Secondary College], where together they won four straight Victorian state high scool titles and the Australian Schools Championship in 2017.
That same year, Robertson and Leaupepe were also selected to play with Australia at the 2017 under 17s Oceania Championship and the 2018 under 18s Asia Cup, which resulted in two gold medals.
The next year resulted in another gold medal with Victoria at the under 20s Australian Championships, as well as more national honours – this time with the Australian Emus. His Emus side finished ninth at the 2019 FIBA under 19s World Cup in Heraklion, Greece, with Robertson averaging four points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in seven games.
NBL EXPERIENCE
Tyler Robertson made his NBL debut with the Sydney Kings at 24 years of age. He scored nine points in his first game.
Robertson joined the Kings on a three-year deal – with the final year being a team option.
“The opportunity to play for Goorj, who is obviously the national team coach, is an amazing opportunity and one I couldn’t pass up,” said Robertson, who can’t wait to play in front of what he labels ‘the best fans in the league’ at Qudos Bank Arena” said Robertson on signing his rookie deal.
“After having a few conversations with Goorj and wanting to impact wherever I went right away, I just felt his system – which suit the way I like to play – was right.”
Kings coach Brian Goorjian was also quick to sing his praises upon recruiting him to the team.
“Tyler is a multi-purpose player, who we think is only just starting to scratch the surface of his huge potential,” Goorjian said.
“He’s multi-skilled and due to his height, can play numerous positions on the court – not only can he create but he can score in a variety of ways which is a great asset to have.
He gives us a different look than other guys do on this team and as he’s already 23 years old, we feel like he can come in and have an impact on winning straight away. We’re very excited to have him and I have no doubt he can be a great player in this league for a long time.”
Tyler Robertson currently plays for the Sydney Kings and has played 21 games in his NBL career. He has averaged 3.5 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1 assists since entering the league in 2024.
