Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Golden Eagles players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Charles Jackson (6'10''-C-1993, played in 2014-15, plays pro in Japan) was the major contributor in a Kyoto Hannaryz's victory against the 12th-ranked Robots (2-13) 87-80 in the Japanese B1 League in Saturday night's game. He had a double-double by scoring 17 points and getting the same number of rebounds. Jackson also added 4 assists in 32 minutes. Kyoto Hannaryz (5-10) is placed 12th in West group. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Jackson has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 17.7ppg, 13.8rpg, 3.0apg and 1.3spg in six games he played so far.
#2. Courtney Alexander (6'8''-F/C-1997, played in 2015-19, plays in Bulgaria) led Balkan to an easy victory against one of league's weakest teams Levski (0-5) crushing them 96-58 in the Bulgarian NBL last Saturday. He scored 14 points. Balkan Botevgrad (5-1) is placed first in the NBL. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. But the season just started, so everything may happen. It's Alexander's first year with the team. This season Alexander averages 9.5ppg and 4.2rpg.
#3. JR Clay (6'0''-PG-2000, played in 2018-22, currently in Bosnia) led Jahorina to an easy victory against the tenth-ranked Basket Zivinice (1-3) crushing them 93-72 in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Division I on Saturday night. Clay scored 12 points, grabbed 4 boards, passed 8 assists and added 5 steals in 30 minutes. KK Jahorina Pale (5-0) is placed first in the Division I. So far his team won all five games in the Regular Season. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. Clay has relatively good stats this year 13.4ppg, 4.0rpg, 6.2apg and 3.8spg in five games.
#4. Jaylen Sebree (6'7''-F-1997, played in 2022-23, plays pro in France) led SO Maritime Boulogne to an easy victory against the tenth-ranked Lyon (2-5) 70-53 in the French NM1 (third division) in Friday night's game. Sebree scored 15 points. It was his first game for SO Maritime Boulogne this season; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. His team is placed sixth in Group B.
#5. David Craig (7'2''-C-2003, played in 2023-25, plays in Germany). He could not help Neustadt TSV (7-1) to beat Eagles (5-3) in the German ProB (third division). Craig did not have that impressive stats last Saturday. He scored only 2 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 16 minutes. The second-placed Neustadt TSV (7-1) lost 81-89 on the road to the lower-ranked (#5) Eagles in the North group. It was Neustadt TSV's first loss after seven consecutive victories. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. It's Craig's first year with the team. This season Craig averages 6.0ppg and 6.4rpg in eight games.
