   #1. Jimmer Fredette (6'2''-G-89, graduated '11, plays pro in Greece) led Panathinaikos to a victory over the closely-ranked Lavrio (1-1) crushing them 112-81 in the Greek A1 on Sunday night. He was MVP of the game. Fredette scored 24 points and added 5 passes (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) in 23 minutes. Panathinaikos Superfoods Athensis placed tenth in the A1. Fredette has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 18.5ppg, 2.5rpg and 3.0apg.

   #2. Elijah Bryant (6'5''-G/F-95, graduated '18, plays in Israel) could not help Maccabi T-A (0-2) in their last game. Despite his very good performance Maccabi T-A was edged86-85on the road by the leading Real Madrid. Bryant scored 15 points; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his second season in pro basketball. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Bryant has relatively good stats this year 12.5ppg and 2.0rpg in two games he played so far.

   #3. Brandon Davies (6'10''-C-91, graduated '13, currently in Spain), who plays in the Spanish Liga Endesa was not able to help FC Barcelona Lassa (2-1) in their game last Sunday. Despite Davies' good performance FC Barcelona Lassa was edged86-84on the opponent's court by the lower-ranked Andorra (#7). He was the second best scorer with 14 points in a mere 18 minutes. But the season just started, so everything may happen. It's Davies' first year with the team. This season Davies has very high stats. He averages 16.3ppg, 7.7rpg, 1.3apg and 2.3spg.

Charles Abouo (6'5''-G/F-89, graduated '12, plays pro in France) was not able to secure a victory for FOS Provence Basket (0-1) in their game against Paris (1-0) in the French ProB (second division). He recorded 6 points. It was his first game for FOS Provence Basket this season. FOS Provence Basket was edged70-68on the opponent's court by the much higher-ranked (#5) Paris.
