Warwick's Elijah Pepper has come into the NBL1 West on fire, averaging 50.5 points in his first two games of the season. 

With a mix of three-pointers, athletic finishes and flashy passes, the Perth Wildcats guard is on pace for a historic season in the West. 

Having completed his college career at the University of California, Pepper made his professional debut last season with the Wildcats. In his debut season, he averaged 7.1 points on the finals team. 

In his first game for the Senators, Pepper dropped 50 points, seven assists and seven rebounds in a major win over the Lakeside Lightning. In Round 2, he did one better with 51 points, six assists and three rebounds against Isaac White's Rockingham Flames.
