Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Matadors players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Vante Hendrix, a 6'5'' guard who recently graduated from CSUN in 2022 and currently plays professionally in Lebanon, was unable to lead Hoops (14-8) to victory in their latest game against Al Markaziyyah. Despite his stellar performance, where he scored an impressive 28 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dished out 2 assists in 39 minutes on the court, Hoops fell short and lost 62-68 at home to the lower-ranked Al Markaziyyah, who held the #6 position. Hendrix has been a standout player this season, showcasing his skills with an average of 20.2 points per game, 6.8 rebounds per game, 3.0 assists per game, and 1.2 steals per game in the six games he has played so far. Despite his individual success, his team's recent loss highlights the competitive nature of the league. Hendrix's contributions on the court have been commendable, positioning him as a top performer in the league.
