Weigh Off to Hot Start on His Pro Career
Looks like Stephen Weigh is back to his old self.

The former Utah forward enjoyed a spectacular professional debut with the Rockhampton Rockets in his native Australia tonight, erupting for 30 points and six rebounds in nearly 40 minutes off the bench in a 101-59 season-opening victory over the Toowoomba Mountaineers in the second-division Queensland Australian Basketball League.

Weigh left the Utes in the middle of last season, you'll remember, while battling a sprained knee and riding an 0-for-16 shooting slump. He wasn't expected to be healthy for much of the rest of the college season, so he chose to return home, get healthy and take a shot at a pro career.

Certainly, it's off to a promising start.

A HUGE disappointment that the current staff was not able to keep Weigh. It's a crime he left! Way to go Boylen!

What did Weigh accomplish in Division 1 basketball? Thank you. Who couldn't go off on Toowoomba? Thank you twice.
