Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Rams players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Jared Small (6'7''-G-1997, played in 2017-19, plays pro in Azerbaijan) led Gence to a 3-point victory over the closely-ranked NTD (20-8) 95-92 in the Azerbaijani ABL last Saturday. He was MVP of the game. Small scored 38 points (!!!) and grabbed 4 rebounds in 37 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. Gence BK Ganja (20-8) is placed third in the ABL. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. The Regular Season already ended. Small has relatively good stats this year 14.8ppg, 5.4rpg, 2.4apg and 1.4spg in 13 games he played so far.

Sykes recorded 7 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and made 2 blocks. Eltham Wildcats (5-1) are placed second in South group. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
