Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Here is the weekly review of the top performing Roadrunners alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Kevin Punter (6'4''-SG-1993, played in 2012-14, plays pro in Spain) could not help FC Barcelona Lassa (5-4) in their last game. Despite his very good performance FC Barcelona Lassa lost 92-101 on the road to the lower-ranked (#7) Real Madrid. Punter was the second best scorer with 18 points. He also added 5 assists in 32 minutes. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Punter has relatively good stats this year 12.8ppg, 1.4rpg and 2.8apg in nine games he played so far. He is a naturalized Serbian.
#2. Tyreek Scott-Grayson (6'5''-G-1998, played in 2017-18, plays in Holland) led his Dutch team ZZ Leiden to a victory over the closely-ranked Groningen (4-3) crushing them 101-72 in the BNXT League on Saturday night. He was MVP of the game. Scott-Grayson recorded 33 points (!!!) and grabbed 7 rebounds (made all of his ten free throws !!!); quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. Zorg and Zekerheid Leiden (6-1) is placed fourth in the BNXT League. But the season just started, so everything may happen. Scott-Grayson has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 17.9ppg, 4.3rpg, 3.4apg and 2.4spg.
#3. Joe Thomasson (6'4''-G-1993, played in 2013-14, currently in Turkey) managed to help Tofas Bursa in a victory against the closely-ranked Bursaspor (1-1) 84-70 in a derby game in the Turkish BSL in Saturday night's game. He recorded only 3 points in 18 minutes. Tofas Bursa (4-3) is placed eighth in the BSL. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. This year Thomasson averages 6.1ppg, 3.6rpg and 3.3apg in seven games. He is a naturalized Georgian.
#4. LJ Bryan (6'9''-F-1999, played in 2018-19, plays pro in Czech Republic) contributed to a 3-point Decin's victory against the closely-ranked Opava (3-4) 78-75 in the Czech Republic NBL last Saturday. He recorded 6 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. BK Armex Decin (5-4) is placed sixth in the NBL. It's Bryan's first season with the team. This year Bryan averages 6.1ppg and 4.1rpg.
