Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Here is the weekly review of the top performing Sharks alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Shane Hunter (6'10''-F/C-2001, played in 2019-24, plays pro in Poland) led his Polish team Legia Warszawa to a victory against the closely-ranked Promitheas (2-2) 85-72 in the Basketball Champions League last Wednesday. He scored 14 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in 27 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Hunter's second season in pro basketball. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. Legia Warszawa (2-2) is placed second in the Basketball Champions League. There are only two games left until the end of the Basketball Champions League Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. This year Hunter averages 10.0ppg and 7.0rpg in four games he played so far.
#2. Connor Zinaich (6'7''-F-1997, played in 2018-20, plays in Uruguay) was the major contributor in Nacional's victory against the ninth-ranked Bigua (3-4) 110-93 in a derby game in the Uruguayan LUB on Monday night. Zinaich recorded 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and made 4 blocks. Nacional De Futbol Montevideo (6-1) is placed second in the LUB. It was his team's sixth consecutive victory in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. Zinaich has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 18.3ppg, 8.5rpg, 2.5apg, 2.3bpg and 2.5spg.
#3. Will Yoakum (6'5''-G/F-1998, played in 2023-24, currently in United Kingdom), who plays in the British SLB could not help Bristol Flyers (5-3) in their last game. Despite his very good performance Bristol Flyers lost 69-76 on the road to the lower-ranked (#4) Sharks. Yoakum was the top scorer with 16 points. He also added 7 rebounds in 30 minutes; not bad, considering it's only Yoakum's third season in pro basketball. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Yoakum has relatively good stats this year 14.6ppg, 4.4rpg, 1.6apg and 1.3spg in eight games.
#4. Tyler Eberhart (6'7''-F, played in 2024-25, plays pro in Portugal) contributed to a CAB Madeira's surprising victory against the fifth-ranked Benfica U23 (3-3) 70-62 in the Portuguese Proliga (second division) last Sunday. He scored 15 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. CAB Madeira (1-5) is placed 11th in South group. It's Eberhart's first season with the team. Eberhart has relatively good stats this year 13.0ppg, 6.0rpg, 2.3apg and 3.0spg.
#5. Ryker Cisarik (6'9''-F, played in 2023-25, plays in Sweden) helped Norrkoping win their game against the closely-ranked BC Lulea (7-3) crushing them 113-82 in the Swedish Basketligan on Saturday night. Cisarik scored 7 points in 22 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. Norrkoping Dolphins (8-2) is placed second in the Basketligan. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row. But the season just started, so everything may happen. This year Cisarik averages 9.8ppg, 5.5rpg, 1.4apg and 1.3bpg in 10 games.
#6. MJ Iraldi (6'6''-G, played in 2023-25, currently in the NBA G League) was not able to help the Noblesville Boom in their game against the Grand Rapids Gold in the NBA G League.
