Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Here is the weekly review of the top performing Reddies alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Mike Fofana (6'9''-F-1997, played in 2018-20, plays pro in Portugal) led Braga to a 3-point victory over the closely-ranked Oliveirense (2-3) 66-63 in the Portuguese Liga Betclic on Sunday night. He was MVP of the game. Fofana scored 14 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in 28 minutes. Sporting Clube de Braga (3-2) is placed seventh in the Liga Betclic. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. It's Fofana's first year with the team. He has relatively good stats this season 14.0ppg and 5.3rpg. Fofana is a naturalized Ivorian.
#2. Zyon Patterson (6'7''-SF-2000, played in 2022-24, plays in Germany) led EN Baskets Schwelm to a victory over the 14th-ranked Vechta-2 (0-8) crushing them 100-74 in the German ProB (third division) in Saturday night's game. Patterson was MVP of the game. He scored 27 points (!!!) and grabbed 7 rebounds; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Patterson's second season in pro basketball. EN Baskets Schwelm (5-3) is placed fourth in North group. But the season just started, so everything may happen. Patterson has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 18.5ppg, 5.5rpg, 2.9apg, 1.1bpg and 1.8spg in eight games he played so far.
#3. Franck Kamgain (6'3''-G-1999, played in 2023-24, currently in Iceland), who plays in the Icelandic Division I (second division) could not help Hamar (1-4) in their game last Friday. Despite his very good performance Hamar was crushed108-85 on the road by the higher-ranked Fjolnir (#3). Kamgain recorded a double-double by scoring 39 points and getting 11 rebounds. He also added 4 assists and 3 steals in 38 minutes. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. It's Kamgain's first year with the team. This season Kamgain has very high stats. He averages 30.4ppg, 8.2rpg, 3.8apg and 3.8spg.
#4. Malek Davis (5'11''-PG-2000, played in 2023-24, plays pro in Azerbaijan) was not able to help Sheki in their game against Absheron (5-1) in the Azerbaijani ABL. Davis scored 6 points. The fifth-placed Sheki (2-4) was crushed104-79 at home by the second-ranked Absheron in the Grupa A group. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. This year Davis averages 8.5ppg, 3.2rpg and 2.5apg in six games.
