#1. Justin Satchell (6'8''-C-1995, played in 2016-17, plays pro in Chile) led Los Leones to a victory over the fifth-ranked Catolica (5-7) crushing them 84-42 in the Chilean LNB in Sunday night's game. He was MVP of the game. Satchell had a double-double by scoring 17 points and getting 13 rebounds in 20 minutes. Colegio Los Leones de Quilpue (11-1) is placed first in Group Center. It was his team's fifth consecutive victory in a row. Satchell has relatively good stats this year 10.5ppg, 9.5rpg and 1.5spg in two games he played so far. He is a naturalized Dominican.
#2. Kyran McClure (6'2''-G-1996, played in 2017-20, plays in Cyprus) managed to help Payabl EKA AEL Limassol to win against one of league's weakest teams Frederick Achilleas Kaimakliou (2-8) crushing them 82-41 in the Cypriot OPAP Basket League last Friday. He recorded only 3 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Payabl EKA AEL Limassol (7-2) is placed third in the OPAP Basket League. It was his team's seventh consecutive victory in a row. It's McClure's first season with the team. This year McClure averages 8.6ppg, 2.4rpg, 3.8apg and 1.6spg.
#3. Marty Jackson (6'6''-F, played in 2022-23, currently in Georgia), who plays in the Georgian Superleague could not help Margveti (2-6) in their last game. Despite Jackson's good performance the bottom-ranked Margveti was crushed99-66 on the road by the leading Delta. He was the second best scorer with 14 points. Jackson also added 7 rebounds in 31 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. It was Margveti's fourth consecutive loss in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. This year Jackson averages 8.9ppg, 7.3rpg, 2.9apg and 1.1spg in eight games.
