Every week we bring you a list of the top former Bears players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Steven Green (6'5''-G-1993, played in 2013-15, plays pro in Qatar) was the major contributor in an Al Sadd's victory against the league outsider Qatar Club (0-4) 95-78 in a derby game in the Qatari QBL on Wednesday night.
He scored 23 points and added 7 assists in 39 minutes.
Al Sadd Sports Club Doha (3-1) is placed third in the QBL.
Green's team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical.
It's Green's first season with the team.
He has individually a very good year with high stats. Green averages 21.5ppg, 6.0rpg and 6.3apg.
#2. Experienced Ira Brown (6'4''-F-1982, played in 2005-07, plays in Japan). Brown could not help Kyoto Hannaryz (3-10) to beat Fighting Eagles (4-9) in the Japanese B1 League. He did not impress in that game on Wednesday.
Brown recorded only 2 points and grabbed 8 rebounds.
The 13th-placed Kyoto Hannaryz (3-10) lost 77-81 on the road to the higher-ranked (#11) Fighting Eagles in the West group.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
It's Brown's first year with the team.
This season he averages 2.2ppg, 2.8rpg, 1.2apg and 1.5spg in six games he played so far.
Brown is a naturalized Japanese.
