Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Here is the weekly review of the top performing Thunderbirds alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Conor Morgan (6'9''-F/C-1994, played in 2012-18, plays pro in Turkey) contributed to a Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul's victory against the league leader Efes (2-0) 78-69 in a derby game in the Turkish BSL in Sunday night's game. He recorded 6 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in 31 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. Besiktas Fibabanka Istanbul (7-0) is placed first in the BSL. So far his team won all seven games in the Regular Season. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. This year Morgan averages 9.0ppg, 4.3rpg and 1.8apg in four games he played so far. He has also Canadian passport.
#2. Victor Radocaj (6'10''-F-2001, played in 2023-25, plays in Bosnia). Radocaj could not help one of league's weakest teams Slavija (2-3) to beat Student-Igokea (2-2) in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Division I. He did not impress in that game on Sunday. Radocaj scored only 2 points, grabbed 4 rebounds and made 4 blocks. Slavija was defeated 81-76 on the road by the higher-ranked Student-Igokea (#7). But the season just started, so everything may happen. This year Radocaj averages 5.8ppg, 6.8rpg, 1.2apg and 1.4bpg.
