Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Badgers players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Cheikh Sane (6'10''-C-1992, played in 2011-13, plays pro in Switzerland) contributed to an easy victory against the fifth-ranked Geneve (4-5) crushing them 95-61 in the Swiss SBL on Saturday night. He recorded 7 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in 21 minutes. Fribourg Olympic (21-0) is placed first in the SBL. So far his team won all twenty one games in the Semi-Finals. It's Sane's first season with the team. This year Sane averages 6.0ppg, 5.7rpg and 1.5apg.
#2. Boris Latinovic (6'9''-SF-1999, graduated '2020, plays in Serbia) managed to help KK Dunav Stari Banovci in a victory against the eighth-ranked Loznica (14-15) crushing them 90-64 in the Serbian 2MLS (second division) in Saturday night's game. He scored only 2 points. KK Dunav Stari Banovci (10-19) is placed 14th in the 2MLS. The Regular Season already ended. It's Latinovic's first season with the team. This year Latinovic averages 0.8ppg and 1.3rpg in nine games he played so far.
#3. Matthew Norman (6'4''-G, played in 2019-21, currently in Georgia) contributed to Iverioni's victory against one of league's weakest teams Margveti (7-13) 98-86 in the Georgian Superleague last Saturday. He recorded only 3 points in 14 minutes. BC Iverioni Gori (9-11) is placed sixth in the Superleague. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. Norman has relatively good stats this season 13.4ppg, 3.7rpg and 2.1apg.
#4. Jayden Coke (6'7''-F/G, played in 2017-19, plays pro in Australia) led Shepparton Gators to a victory over the 11th-ranked Camberwell (0-2) crushing them 100-79 in the Australian Big V (third division) on Saturday night. Coke was MVP of the game. He had a double-double by scoring 31 points and getting 14 rebounds; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Coke's third season in pro basketball. Shepparton Gators (2-1) are placed fifth in the Big V. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Coke has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 19.3ppg, 11.3rpg, 1.7apg and 1.3spg in three games.
