We bring you last week's top former Crusaders players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Fred Williams (6'6''-F-91, graduated '14, plays pro in Australia) was the major contributor in a Mandurah Magic's victory against the 11th-ranked Redbacks (2-4) 82-74 in the Australian State League (second division) on Saturday night.
He recorded 15 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 33 minutes.
Mandurah Magic (9-8) is placed in NBL1 West group.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
Williams has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 15.2ppg, 4.8rpg and 4.3apg.
#2. Dwight Burton (6'1''-G-97, graduated '20, plays in the TBL) could not help the Detroit Hustle (2-11) in their last game. Despite his very good performance the Detroit Hustle (#7) was badly defeated128-112on the road by the California Sea Kings.
Burton was the second best scorer with 20 points; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his first season in pro basketball. Burton has very impressive stats this year 16.8ppg and 3.4rpg in 11 games he played so far.
#3. Joshua Reynolds (6'4''-G, graduated '20, currently in Romania) led Ploiesti CSM to a victory against the sixth-ranked Agronomia (0-2) 71-58 in the Romanian Liga I (second division) last Wednesday.

CS Municipal Ploiesti (2-0) is placed third in Final Stage group.
There are only three games left until the end of the Second Stage. So now every game will be critical.
Reynolds has relatively good stats this season 14.8ppg, 5.4rpg, 5.4apg and 2.1spg.
#4. Juwan Hampton (6'4''-G-96, graduated '20, plays pro in the TBL) is a teammate of previously mentioned Dwight Burton. But that was another game of his team in TBL which we would like to mention.
Hampton contributed to a Detroit Hustle's victory against the Flint United (5-9) 112-106.
He scored 15 points; not bad, considering it's only Hampton's first season in pro basketball. The Detroit Hustle has not so impressive 2-11 record this season.
Hampton has relatively good stats this year 14.4ppg and 4.5rpg in 13 games.
