Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Pioneers players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Andrew Lewis (6'3''-G-1998, played in 2022-23, plays pro in Georgia) could not help GAU (10-9) in their last game. Despite his very good performance GAU was edged78-76 on the road by the lower-ranked (#7) Iverioni. Lewis was the top scorer with 29 points. He also added 8 rebounds and dished 3 assists in 37 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Lewis' first season in pro basketball. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. Lewis has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 22.1ppg, 6.3rpg, 5.0apg and 1.2spg in 19 games he played so far.
#2. Joan Sola (6'7''-SF, played in 2018-23, plays in Spain) managed to help Lobe Huesca La Magia to win against the fourth-ranked Zornotza (16-10) 85-68 in the Spanish LEB Silver (third division) last Saturday. He scored only 2 points. Lobe Huesca La Magia (10-16) is placed tenth in West group. The Regular Season already ended. It's Sola's first season with the team. This year Sola averages 1.7ppg and 1.8rpg.
#3. Ronnie Rousseau III (5'9''-PG-1995, played in 2019-20, currently in Germany) led SSV Lokomotive Bernau to an easy victory against the second-ranked Leverkusen (20-6) 79-60 in the German ProB (third division) on Saturday night. He scored 16 points and added 3 passes in 27 minutes. SSV Lokomotive Bernau (11-15) is placed seventh in North group. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. It's Rousseau III's first season with the team. Rousseau III has relatively good stats this year 12.4ppg, 2.5rpg, 3.1apg and 1.3spg in 11 games.
#4. Elias Ezenekwe (6'4''-G, played in 2021-23, plays pro in Rwanda) was the major contributor in Orion's victory against the fourth-ranked Kepler (6-3) 76-74 in the Rwandan RBL in Friday night's game. Ezenekwe scored 17 points and had 3 steals; not bad, considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. Orion (2-5) is placed eighth in the RBL. Ezenekwe's team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And now that game is quite important. This season Ezenekwe has very high stats. He averages 21.5ppg, 4.5rpg, 2.8apg and 3.8spg.
