Tai William Evans Wesley (born May 13, 1986) is an American professional basketball player for the South East Melbourne Phoenix of the National Basketball League (NBL). He played college basketball for Utah State University, where he was named the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year in 2011. Wesley is the younger brother of Mekeli Wesley, the 2001 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year. Wesley also plays for the Guam national team.[1]

Early life

Born in Orem, Utah to a Rotuman father, Hiagi, and an American mother, Susan, Wesley lived in Guam from age five to age eleven when his father worked at the University of Guam.[2][3]

High school career

Wesley attended Provo High School in Provo, Utah. As a senior in 2003–04, he averaged 16.7 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal per game. He was named tournament MVP after he led Provo to the state title while averaging 19.3 points in four games. He was later named Mr. Basketball in the state of Utah by the Deseret News and the 4A Most Valuable Player by the Salt Lake Tribune.[4]

College career

After redshirting the 2004–05 season, Wesley did not join the Utah State Aggies until 2007–08 after he went on a two-year Mormon mission to Oaxaca, Mexico. In his freshman season, he shot 63.5% from the field, ranking sixth all-time at Utah State for a single-season. He also scored in double-figures 18 times, including three 20-point games. In 35 games (24 starts), he averaged 9.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.[4][5]

In his sophomore season, he was named to the WAC's all-tournament team and earned NABC All-District 6 second team honors. In 35 games (all starts), he averaged 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game.[4][5]

In his junior season, he was named to the WAC's all-tournament team for the second-straight year and earned All-WAC first team and NABC All-District 6 second team honors. In 35 games (all starts), he averaged 13.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 27.5 minutes per game.[4][5]

In his senior season, he earned All-WAC first team honors for the second-straight year. In 34 games, he averaged 14.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game.[5] In the 2011 WAC Men's Basketball Tournament semi-final, Wesley scored two free throws in the final seconds to defeat San Jose State 58-54.[6]

Professional career

Europe (2011–2014)

On June 15, 2011, Wesley signed a one-year deal with EiffelTowers Den Bosch of the Dutch Basketball League.[7][8] The next day, he attended a pre-draft workout with the Minnesota Timberwolves.[9][10] In 2011–12, he played 41 games for Den Bosch, averaging 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game.

In July 2012, Wesley signed a one-year deal with SPO Rouen Basket of the LNB Pro B.[11]

In August 2013, Wesley signed a one-year deal with SPM Shoeters Den Bosch, returning to the club for a second stint.[12][13] In April 2014, he was named to the All-DBL Team.[14]

New Zealand (2014–2017)

Southland Sharks

On June 5, 2014, Wesley signed with the Southland Sharks for the rest of the 2014 New Zealand NBL season.[15] On November 7, 2014, he re-signed with the Southland Sharks for the 2015 New Zealand NBL season.[16] On April 14, 2015, he was named co-Player of the Week for Round 2 alongside Taranaki Mountainairs forward Aaron Fuller.[17] On June 18, he earned co-Player of the Week honors again, this time for Round 11 alongside Torrey Craig of the Wellington Saints.[18] He went on to earn Finals MVP honors after helping the Sharks win the 2015 championship.[19]

In 28 games for the Sharks over two seasons, Wesley averaged 17.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.[20]

New Zealand Breakers

On July 22, 2014, Wesley signed a one-year deal with the New Zealand Breakers of the Australian National Basketball League.[21][22] On December 31, 2014, he was named Player of the Week for Round 12 after scoring a season-high 23 points against the Sydney Kings on December 26.[23] He appeared in all 32 games for the Breakers in 2014–15, averaging 8.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game,[24] helping the Breakers win the league championship for the fourth time in five seasons.

On May 15, 2015, Wesley re-signed with the Breakers for the 2015–16 season.[25] The American-born, Guam-qualified, Fijian-bloodlined tough guy was experimented at the centre position by head coach Dean Vickerman during the 2015 Pre-season Blitz after Wesley improved his fitness and lowered his weight during the off-season.[26] He started the regular season in good form, but was ruled out for two to three weeks on November 12 with appendicitis.[27] He returned to action a month later and helped the Breakers fight back from an 11–12 record in mid-January to claim fourth spot on the ladder.[28] In the playoffs, the Breakers defeated first-placed Melbourne United in the semi-finals with a 2–0 sweep, moving on to their fifth Grand Final appearance in six years. There they faced their arch rivals the Perth Wildcats, a best-of-three series where they lost Game 1 in Perth 82–76, fought out a Game 2 72–68 win in Auckland to level the series, and then lost Game 3 in Perth 75–52.[29] He appeared in 26 games for the Breakers in 2015–16, averaging 11.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

Wellington Saints

On January 13, 2016, Wesley signed with the Wellington Saints for the 2016 New Zealand NBL season.[30] He helped the Saints win their ninth title and earned back-to-back Finals MVP honors for his efforts. In 16 games for the Saints in 2016, he averaged 15.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.5 blocks per game.[31]

On March 8, 2017, Wesley re-signed with the Saints for the 2017 season.[32] In early May, Wesley temporarily left the Saints to join Melbourne United for their China tour.[33] On June 8, 2017, he was named Player of the Week for Round 12.[34] He helped the Saints win their 10th title to earn a personal three-peat. In 17 games for the Saints in 2017, he averaged 19.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

On January 18, 2018, Wesley re-signed with the Saints for the 2018 season.[35] However, he decided not to participate in the Saints' season in April 2018.[36][37]

Melbourne United (2016–2018)

On May 27, 2016, Wesley signed a two-year deal with Melbourne United.[38] He made his debut for United in their season opener on October 7, 2016, scoring a game-high 15 points off the bench in a 76–71 loss to the Breakers in Auckland.[39] A week later, on October 14, Wesley scored a season-high 18 points in a 98–87 win over the Adelaide 36ers.[40] He scored in double figures 15 times during the 2016–17 season, but after averaging 10.6 points per game over the first 21 games of the season, Wesley's form dropped over the final seven contests, as he failed to score in double figures and averaged a mere 3.4 points per game. United finished the regular season with a 13–15 record and subsequently missed out on a playoff spot. Wesley appeared in all 28 games for United in 2016–17, averaging 8.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Wesley was Melbourne's starting power forward in 2017–18 and earned All-NBL Second Team honors.[41] He scored a season-high 21 points twice during the season, and in March 2018, he helped United defeat the 36ers 3–2 in the NBL Grand Final series to claim his second NBL Championship. He appeared in all 35 games in 2017–18, averaging 11.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 blocks per game.

Return to the Breakers (2018–2019)

On May 15, 2018, Wesley signed a one-year deal with the New Zealand Breakers, returning to the club for a second stint and on the final year of his status as an unrestricted player.[42][43][44] During pre-season, Wesley suffered what was his seventh broken nose in his career.[45] He appeared in all 28 games for the Breakers in 2018–19, averaging 14.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 blocks per game.

Brujos de Guayama (2019)

Following the NBL season, Wesley moved to Puerto Rico to play for Brujos de Guayama of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional.[46] In 24 games, he averaged 15.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 blocks per game.

South East Melbourne Phoenix (2019–present)

On April 1, 2019, Wesley signed a three-year deal with the South East Melbourne Phoenix, a new franchise entering the NBL.[47] For the 2019–20 season, he was reclassified as an import player.[48] While his debut game for the Phoenix marked his 150th in the NBL,[49][50] he also injured his hamstring which ruled him out for nine weeks.[51][52][53]

National team career

Wesley plays internationally for the Guam national basketball team.[1] In 2015, he helped Guam win gold at the South Pacific Games.[54] In November 2018, he played for Guam in the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup pre-qualifiers in Thailand.[55] In Thailand, he played alongside his two older brothers, Mekeli and Russell, for the first time in an official tournament.[56]
