Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Pioneers players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Australian champion Jok Bulabek, a 6'9'' forward who is 22 years old and graduated from WOSC in 2026, played a crucial role in helping his team reach the final of NJCAA D1 Region II that year. Currently playing professionally in Australia, Bulabek recently faced a tough match with his team, the North Adelaide Rockets, who are currently in ninth place with a 3-9 record. Despite his remarkable performance, the Rockets were defeated 93-105 by the Eastern Mavericks, who are ranked sixth in the Central group. In the game against the Eastern Mavericks, Bulabek stood out as the second-best scorer with 19 points in just 30 minutes of play. This impressive display is noteworthy, especially considering that this is only his first season in professional basketball. His performance included scoring 19 points, grabbing 1 rebound, and providing 1 assist. Despite his individual efforts, the North Adelaide Rockets were unable to secure a victory. Throughout the season, Bulabek has maintained high statistics, averaging 16.5 points per game, along with 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in the two games he has played so far. His consistent performance and contributions on the court highlight his potential as a future champion in the making.
#2. Grenadian player Arkim Robertson, a towering 6'10'' center at 31 years old, is a Titans alumni from 2018. He previously played in the WOSC between 2014 and 2016 before turning pro in France. In a recent match, Robertson, despite his efforts, could not lead Lorient (22-17) to victory over the Metropolitans (26-14) in the French Nationale Masculine 1, which is the third division of basketball in the country. Despite recording 9 points and 4 rebounds in just 20 minutes of play, his team, currently in tenth place, fell short with a 67-75 loss at home to the higher-ranked (#4) Metropolitans in Group A. Robertson showcased his skills on the court by scoring 9 points and grabbing 4 rebounds against Levallois, demonstrating his talent and contribution to the team. Throughout this season, he has maintained an average of 8.1 points per game and 4.6 rebounds per game across 37 games, highlighting his consistent performance as a valuable player for Lorient.
