Tobi Ewuosho (6'5''-G-1997, played in 2017-20, plays pro in Belgium) led his Belgian team Kangoeroes Basket Mechelen to a victory over the 15th-ranked BAL Weert (0-5) 77-71 in the BNXT League last Saturday. He was MVP of the game. Ewuosho had a double-double by scoring 24 points and getting 10 rebounds. He also added 3 assists in 39 minutes. Kangoeroes Basket Mechelen (4-0) is placed third in the BNXT League. So far his team won all four games in the Regular Season.

He was MVP of the game. Madlock scored 21 points and grabbed 5 rebounds; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim (5-0) is placed second in the ProA. So far his team won all five games in the Regular Season. But the season just started, so everything may happen. This year Madlock averages 9.6ppg, 3.0rpg and 1.2apg.

Ngouama recorded 7 points in just 13 minutes. The bottom-ranked LDLC ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne Basket lost 65-79 on the road to the leading Crvena zvezda. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. This year Ngouama averages 4.7ppg, 1.5rpg and 1.3spg in six games.
