   #1. Tristan Forsyth (6'10''-F-1998, played in 2018-19, plays pro in Norway). He could not help Ammerud Bskt (9-7) to beat Kongsberg (13-4) in the Norwegian BLNO. Forsyth recorded 9 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 30 minutes. But Ammerud Bskt was crushed110-80 on the road by the second-ranked Kongsberg. Forsyth has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 18.3ppg, 8.5rpg and 1.3spg in eight games he played so far.

   #2. Tiyon Martin (5'9''-PG, played in 2019-20, plays in Armenia) led Lusavan to a victory over the closely-ranked US Titans (1-3) 99-80 in the Armenian A-League last Sunday. Martin was MVP of the game. He recorded 38 points (!!!), 4 rebounds and 6 assists (made all of his five free throws); quite an impressive performance considering it's only Martin's second season in pro basketball. Lusavan (3-0) is placed second in the A-League. So far his team won all three games in the Regular Season. The Regular Season already ended. It's Martin's first year with the team. This season he has very high stats. Martin averages 31.7ppg, 4.0rpg, 6.0apg and 2.3spg.

Despite Fitzgerald's good performance the eighth-placed Galitos-Aveiro (1-12) lost 68-73 in Maia to the higher-ranked (#4) Basket in the North group. He was the second best scorer with 13 points. Fitzgerald also added 9 rebounds in 33 minutes. It was Galitos-Aveiro's 12th consecutive loss in a row. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical.
