He averaged 22.1 points and nine rebounds in 1997–98 and 21.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 1998–99. He led the team to a 19–3 record in senior season (1998–99) and was subsequently named Nebraska Player of the Year (honorary captain) and Class A first-team all-state by the Omaha World-Herald. He ended his career as the school's career leader for rebounds (554), assists (315) and blocks (235), while finishing second in points with 1,206. He also became the second Lincoln East player (after Alex Stivrins in 1979–80) to make the Omaha World-Herald All-Nebraska first-team as a junior and senior. [2]

Redhage was also an accomplished prep soccer player, as he led his team to the state championship and was a three-year letterwinner. [2]

College career

Redhage moved to Arizona State for college, where he joined the Sun Devils for the 1999–2000 season. As a freshman, he posted double-digits 14 times and matched the ASU freshman record with 28 starts. On 20 November 1999, he had a season-best 17 points against Texas en route to Puerto Rico Shootout All-Tournament honors. [2] In 32 games, he averaged 8.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. [3]

As a sophomore in 2000–01, Redhage established himself as one of the top student-athletes at Arizona State and in the Pac-10 as he earned Pac-10 All-Academic selection.

[5] In his rookie season, he averaged 35 points and 15 rebounds per game. [6]

His form in the SEABL led to the New Zealand Breakers signing him for the 2004–05 NBL season. After an impressive start to the season, a form slump in November led to Redhage's court time being reduced and he was eventually released on 6 December 2004. [7] [8] In 13 games for the Breakers, he averaged 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. [9]

Redhage returned to the SEABL for the 2005 season, this time playing for the Bendigo Braves. [6] He helped the Braves win the SEABL South title before going on to lead them to the ABA National Championship. [10] [11] Redhage was named MVP of the conference grand final for his 43 points and 13 rebounds. [12] He was also named SEABL South most valuable player for the second straight year. [13]

Perth Wildcats (2005–2017)

Birth of "The Scoring Machine" (2005–2009)

Redhage's form in the SEABL once again led to an NBL contract, this time with the Perth Wildcats for the 2005–06 season. [14] He made an immediate impact with a 27-point debut against the Adelaide 36ers on 2 September 2005. [15] He later earned Player of the Week for Round 9. [16] He went on to average 20 points and nine rebounds per game [17] [18] and subsequently finished second in the league's MVP voting while earning All-NBL Second Team honours. [19] [20]

In November of the 2006–07 season, Redhage became the first player in NBL history to have at least 30 points and 15 assists as part of a triple-double when he added 11 rebounds against the West Sydney Razorbacks. [21] Days later, he had 20 points and 20 rebounds against the Sydney Kings to win Player of the Week honours. [22]

In the 2007–08 season, Redhage averaged a career-best 22.9 points per game [15] and became the fastest Wildcat to reach 2,000 career points, doing so in 95 games and 3,400 minutes. [23] On 10 October 2007, he scored a career-high 40 points against the Adelaide 36ers. [21]

Redhage averaged at least 19 points and eight rebounds per game every year between 2005–06 and 2008–09 [15] and subsequently earned a place in the All-NBL Team in four straight seasons. He was also a four-time Gordon Ellis Medalist during this time for being the Wildcats Club MVP.

Career-threatening injury (2010–11)

In April 2010, Redhage re-signed with the Wildcats on a three-year deal.

[28] [29] It was originally feared that it could be a career-ending injury with there being a real possibility at the time of him requiring a hip replacement. [30] The injury occurred after Redhage lunged for a contested ball in a way that punched the head of his femur through his pelvis, breaking the bone and dislocating the joint. [31]

The Wildcats lost four consecutive games following Redhage's injury, winning only two from the remaining eight matches. [31] Despite missing the second half of the season, Redhage shared Club MVP honours with Kevin Lisch. [32]

[33] After just narrowly missing out on the opening round's Player of the Week award, Redhage went on to earn Player of the Week honours for Round 2 after recording 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists in a 92–76 win over the Melbourne Tigers. [34] Redhage concluded the season by earning Player of the Week honours for Round 25 after scoring 19 points in a 72–71 road win over Melbourne. [35] [36] The Wildcats reached the 2012 NBL Grand Final series, where they lost 2–1 to the New Zealand Breakers. [37] Redhage forced the series to a third and deciding game with a memorable final-second block on Breakers guard C. J. Bruton in game two. [38] [39]

Another grand final appearance (2012–13)

After being named MVP of the NBL's preseason competition, [40] Redhage went on to represent the South All-Stars in the NBL All-Star Game held in Adelaide on 22 December 2012. [41] [42] He helped the Wildcats return to the NBL Grand Final in 2012–13, where they lost 2–0 to the New Zealand Breakers.
