Every week we bring you a list of the top former Indians players who continue their career in pro basketball.


   #1. Marcos Knight (6'2''-G-89, graduated '13, plays pro in Germany) could not help MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg (6-10) in their game last Sunday. Despite his very good performance MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg was edged 80-79 on the road by the higher-ranked ALBA Berlin (#3). Knight was the top scorer with 24 points. He also added 5 rebounds and 4 assists in 32 minutes. The Regular Season already ended. Knight has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 18.8ppg, 6.4rpg, 4.0apg and 1.6spg.

   #2. Darrell Williams (6'8''-F/C-89, played in 2008-09, plays in France) was not able to help one of league's weakest teams Le Portel (13-20) in their last game. Despite his very good performance Le Portel lost 73-87 in Strasbourg to the higher-ranked (#11) SIG Strasbourg. Williams was the top scorer with 16 points. He also added 6 rebounds and dished 3 assists. Williams' team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. It's Williams' first season with the team. He has relatively good stats this year 13.2ppg, 6.2rpg, 1.5apg and 1.1spg in 33 games he played so far.

   #3. Experienced Chanan Colman (6'3''-G-84, currently in Israel) was not able to secure a victory for Beer Sheva (14-17) in their game against Ironi Nes-Ziona (14-17) in the Israeli Winner League. He recorded 9 points in 25 minutes. But Beer Sheva was defeated 103-91 at home by the higher-ranked Ironi Nes-Ziona (#5). It was Beer Sheva's fifth consecutive loss in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. It's Colman's first season with the team. This year Colman averages 8.8ppg, 2.8rpg, 2.8apg and 1.5spg. He has also Israeli citizenship.

   #4. Earl Watson (6'7''-C-90, played in 2012-13, plays pro in Spain) led Rio Ourense Termal to a victory against the closely-ranked Oviedo CB (22-12) 80-76 in the Spanish LEB Gold (second division) on Thursday night. Watson had a double-double by scoring 12 points and getting 10 rebounds. He also added 2 blocks. Rio Ourense Termal (20-14) is placed seventh in the LEB Gold. It's Watson's first season with the team. This year Watson averages 9.4ppg and 5.6rpg in 30 games.

   #5. Mehdy-Sofian Ngouama (6'2''-PG-95, played in 2014-16, plays in France) contributed to a 2-point Jean D'Arc Vichy Clermont Metropole's victory against the 15th-ranked Denain Voltaire (11-21) 102-100 in the French ProB (second division) in Sunday night's game. Ngouama scored 16 points in 28 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his second season in pro basketball. Jean D'Arc Vichy Clermont Metropole (23-9) is placed fourth in the ProB. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be important. This season Ngouama averages 9.9ppg, 2.0rpg and 3.0apg.

   #6. Torian Graham (6'5''-G-93, played in 2012-14, currently in Mexico) couldn't help Gigantes de Jalisco in their game against Tijuana Zonkeys in the Mexican CIBACOPA. He recorded 5 points. It was his first game for Gigantes de Jalisco this season. His team was edged 111-108.
