Here is the weekly review of the top performing Rattlers alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.

   #1. Mbodj Lamine (6'8''-F-1997, played in 2013-15, plays pro in Japan) contributed to an easy victory against the third-ranked Blowinds (7-4) 76-57 in the Japanese B2 League on Sunday night. He scored 6 points and grabbed 4 rebounds in 17 minutes. Kumamoto Volters (2-9) are placed sixth in West group. It was his team's first victory after eight consecutive loses. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. It's Lamine's first year with the team. This season Lamine averages 3.6ppg and 3.1rpg.

   #2. Experienced Kentwan Smith (6'8''-F-1991, played in 2012-13, plays in Spain) contributed to Ourense's victory against the 11th-ranked Menorca (2-4) 84-80 in the Spanish Primera FEB (second division) in Saturday night's game. He scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Club Ourense Baloncesto (3-2) is placed seventh in the Primera FEB. But the season just started, so everything may happen. This year Smith averages 8.8ppg and 2.4rpg in five games he played so far.

   #3. Kenard Richardson (6'4''-G, played in 2021-22, currently in Azerbaijan) led Sheki to a victory against the fifth-ranked Gence (2-3) 84-70 in the Azerbaijani ABL last Friday. He scored 11 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in a mere 18 minutes. Sheki BK (2-3) is placed fourth in Grupa A group. Richardson's team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. It's Richardson's first season with the team. He has relatively good stats this year 11.6ppg, 6.6rpg and 2.4apg.

   #4. Sekou Cisse (6'5''-F-1998, played in 2016-18, plays pro in Spain) could not help the league outsider Sagrado Corazon (0-5) in their last game. Despite his very good performance the 14th-placed Sagrado Corazon (0-5) lost 67-71 on the road to the higher-ranked (#13) Alcala Caja87 in the Group D-B. Cisse had a double-double by scoring 24 points and getting 10 rebounds. He also added 4 assists and 3 steals. So far Sagrado Corazon lost all five games in the Regular Season. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. It's Cisse's first year with the team. Cisse has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 19.0ppg, 9.2rpg, 2.4apg and 2.6spg in five games. Cisse is a naturalized Ivorian.

   #5. Andre Arissol (6'2''-G-1997, played in 2016-18, plays in United Kingdom) led Solent Kestrels to a victory over the sixth-ranked London L. II (2-3) crushing them 102-46 in the British NBL D1 (third division) in Saturday night's game. Arissol was MVP of the game. He scored 15 points and added 3 passes in 23 minutes. Solent Kestrels (3-1) is placed third in Group B. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. Arissol has relatively good stats this season 15.0ppg, 3.0rpg, 2.5apg and 2.0spg.
