Notably, he was flawless from the free-throw line, making all 7 of his attempts. This season marks McEwen's debut with the team, and he has been maintaining an average of 9.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game across the 23 games he has participated in so far. Despite his Canadian citizenship, McEwen's focus remains on excelling on the court as he strives to make a significant impact for his team in Portugal.
#2. Jeremy Senglin, a 31-year-old point guard standing at 6'2'', is a Wildcats alum from 2017 who currently plays professionally in France. In the recent game, he unfortunately couldn't assist Nanterre 92 (21-9) in their matchup against Monaco, which ended in a 78-89 loss on the road for Nanterre. Despite the defeat, Senglin delivered a commendable performance, emerging as the team's second-best scorer with 11 points in just 19 minutes of play. This season marks Senglin's debut with the team, and he has been showcasing his skills consistently.

#3. In the recent game, the 26-year-old champion Zahir Porter, a 6'6'' guard who graduated from Weber St. in 2023 and currently plays professionally in Italy, couldn't lead Rimini (21-16) to victory. Despite his commendable effort, Rimini suffered a 76-84 defeat against the higher-ranked (#4) team, Verona, on their home court. Porter, the finalist, put up a solid performance by contributing 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in just 25 minutes of play. This noteworthy display of skills is particularly impressive considering that Porter is only in his third season in professional basketball and it is his first year with the team. Throughout the season, Porter has maintained decent statistics, averaging 10.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game in the 15 games he has participated in so far.
