We bring you last week's top former Seahawks players who are currently playing in pro basketball.


   #1. Tre' Bennett (5'10''-PG-92, played in 2013-14, plays pro in Georgia) led Olimpi to a double overtime (!!!) victory over the closely-ranked TSU-Hyundai (8-6) 97-94 in a derby game in the Georgian Superleague on Wednesday night. He was MVP of the game. Bennett scored 28 points (!!!), grabbed 6 rebounds and dished 9 assists in 44 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. Olimpi Tbilisi (8-6) is placed fifth in the Superleague. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical.

   #2. David Laury (6'9''-F/C-90, played in 2010-11, plays in Puerto Rico) led Brujos de Guayama to a victory over the league outsider Atleticos (1-7) 78-67 in the Puerto Rican BSN in Tuesday night's game. He was MVP of the game. Laury had a double-double by scoring 23 points and getting 10 rebounds. Brujos de Guayama (2-4) is placed sixth in the BSN. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Laury has very impressive stats this year 18.4ppg, 10.2rpg and 2.0apg in five games he played so far.

He was MVP of the game. Shabazz recorded a double-double by scoring 21 points and getting 13 rebounds. He also added 3 assists in 25 minutes.
