Elijah Pepper

Is coming off the season of his life in the NBL1 West at the Warwick Senators to be confident of an increased role in the NBL at the Perth Wildcats.

After being born in Shepparton, Victoria, he and his family moved to the United States and he grew up in Selah, Washington, and then enrolled at UC Davis ahead of the 2019/20 season.

During that college career, made the All-Big West Second Team in both 2021 and 2022, then the All-First Team in 2023 and 2024, and was the Big West Player of the Year in his senior season.

Had his moments in NBL25 at the Wildcats with 7.1 points in over 16 minutes a game before starring at the Senators in the NBL1 West including setting a new NBL1 national scoring record with 59 points against the South West Slammers.

Might not have won MVP, but had 36.0 points, 7.3 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 steals a game on a team that reached the Grand Final and will bring that confidence into NBL26.
