Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Panthers players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. A.J. Green (6'3''-PG-1999, played in 2018-22, plays pro in the NBA) could not help the Milwaukee Bucks (6-4) in their last game. Despite his very good performance the Milwaukee Bucks (6-4) were edged135-133 on the road by the Sacramento Kings. Green scored 17 points and grabbed 4 rebounds in 30 minutes. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Green has relatively good stats this year 10.7ppg, 2.3rpg and 1.8apg in 10 games he played so far.
#2. Jacob Hutson (6'11''-C, played in 2023-25, plays in North Macedonia) led Rabotnicki to a 3-point victory over the league outsider Cair 2030 (0-6) 87-84 in a derby game in the North Macedonian Prva Liga last Saturday. He was MVP of the game. Hutson recorded a double-double by scoring 31 points and getting 13 rebounds. He also added 4 blocks (went 13 for 13 at the free throw line !!!); quite an impressive performance considering it's only Hutson's first season in pro basketball. KK Rabotnicki AD Skopje (4-2) is placed fifth in the Prva Liga. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row. But the season just started, so everything may happen. It's Hutson's first year with the team. He has individually a very good season with high stats. Hutson averages 20.0ppg, 9.8rpg, 3.0bpg and 1.3spg.
#3. Tytan Anderson (6'6''-G/F, played in 2020-25, currently in Belgium), who plays in Belgium was not able to help Stella Artois Leuven Bears (2-5) in their last game. Despite Anderson's very good performance Stella Artois Leuven Bears lost 83-88 on the opponent's court to the higher-ranked (#11) Circus_Brussels. He was the second best scorer with 18 points. Anderson also added 9 rebounds and 4 assists in 37 minutes; not bad, considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. Anderson has very impressive stats this year 16.7ppg, 7.4rpg and 2.4apg in seven games.
#4.

He scored 6 points. Paris Basketball (5-2) is placed fourth in the Betclic ELITE ProA. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row.
