#1. Hyrum Harris (6'9''-F-1996, played in 2012-16, plays pro in Japan) was the major contributor in a Kanazawa Samuraiz's surprising victory against the league leader Gambarous (7-1) 77-76 in the Japanese B3 League on Sunday night. He scored 12 points, grabbed 5 boards, dished 3 assists and stole 3 balls in 31 minutes. Kanazawa Samuraiz (3-5) is placed tenth in the B3 League. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Harris has relatively good stats this year 12.3ppg, 9.4rpg, 4.0apg and 2.5spg.

Dante Sofia (6'9''-F, played in 2020-22, plays in United Kingdom) contributed to a 2-point Liverpool's victory against the sixth-ranked Arrows (2-2) 84-82 in the British NBL D1 (third division) in Saturday night's game. He recorded 9 points. Liverpool Basketball (3-1) is placed third in Group A. But the season just started, so everything may happen. Sofia has relatively good stats this year 10.8ppg, 6.0rpg, 2.3apg and 2.0spg in four games he played so far.
