  ### Oceania career
  
  Lampley signed with the Melbourne Tigers of Australia's National Basketball League in December 2007. After arriving in the country only 2 days prior, Lampley made his debut in the NBL's biggest attendance of the season, scoring 10 points (on 3/5 shooting) and pulling down 4 rebounds in the Tigers' victory over the South Dragons at Melbourne Arena on December 15. He played with the Oaks Card Club squad in 2006–2007. His signing filled the void left by recently de-listed player Martin Muursepp, who suffered from poor form partly due to an ongoing battle with an ankle injury. Lampley sunk a 3 as time expired to get the Tigers ahead 2–1 against the Sydney kings in the 2007-2008 finals.
