Every week we bring you a list of the top former Bear Cub players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Experienced Xavier Cannefax (6'1''-F-1989, played in 2013-15, plays pro in Indonesia) could not help Bali United (12-14) in their last game. Despite Cannefax's very good performance Bali United lost 79-93 on the road to the leading Dewa United.
He was the top scorer with 27 points. Cannefax also added 8 rebounds and dished 9 assists in 35 minutes.
It was Bali United's third consecutive loss in a row.
His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical.
Cannefax has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 19.0ppg, 3.3rpg, 4.8apg and 1.2spg in 26 games he played so far.
Worth to mention he played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.
