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


   #1. Willie Mangum IV (6'1''-G-93, played in 2014-15, plays pro in Brazil) led Campo Mourao to a 3-point victory over the closely-ranked Cerrado (6-7) 91-88 in the Brazilian Liga Ouro (second division) in Monday night's game. He was MVP of the game. Mangum IV recorded 28 points (!!!), 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals in 38 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his second season in pro basketball. Campo Mourao (8-5) is placed second in the Liga Ouro. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row. They will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. Mangum IV has relatively good stats this year 14.8ppg, 3.3rpg, 2.0apg and 1.4spg in 13 games he played so far.

   #2. Konstantin Kulikov (7'0''-C-95, played in 2015-17, plays in Russia) contributed to Ryazan's victory against the tenth-ranked Lok.Kuban KRS (15-29) 77-71 in the Russian Superleague 2 (third division) last Sunday. Kulikov recorded 7 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks. BC Ryazan (26-18) is placed sixth in the Superleague 2. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. This season Kulikov averages 7.0ppg and 3.9rpg.

   #3. Dion Prewster (6'5''-G/F-90, played in 2008-10, currently in New Zealand) contributed to a Taylor Hawks' victory against the closely-ranked Huskies (1-2) 105-95 in the New Zealand NBL on Sunday night. He scored 9 points and grabbed 4 rebounds in 26 minutes. Taylor Hawks (2-1) are placed third in the NBL. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. It's Prewster's first year with the team. Prewster has relatively good stats this season 10.3ppg, 2.7rpg and 3.0apg in three games. He is a naturalized New Zealander.

   #4. Ilker Er (6'8''-F-94, played in 2014-16, plays pro in Turkey). He could not help Yalova Bld (7-21) to beat OGM Orman (19-9) in the Turkish TBL (second division). Er's contribution was not very remarkable in Friday's game. He recorded only 2 points. Yalova Bld was defeated 70-66 on the road by the much higher-ranked OGM Orman (#4). It was Yalova Bld's fifth consecutive loss in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be important. This season Er averages 1.8ppg.
