It's Mays' first season with the team. Mays has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 26.8ppg, 14.3rpg, 1.9apg and 1.4spg. Mays is a naturalized Central African.

   #2. Clifford Hammonds (6'3''-PG-85, graduated '08, plays in Belgium) contributed to a 3-point Proximus Spirou Charleroi's victory against the closely-ranked Belfius Mons-Hainaut (9-8) 90-87 in the Belgian Euromillions League in Saturday night's game. Hammonds scored 13 points and added 5 assists. Proximus Spirou Charleroi (5-0) is placed third in the Euromillions League. So far his team won all five games in the Regular Season. It's Hammonds' first season with the team. This year he averages 8.4ppg, 1.9rpg and 3.8apg in 17 games he played so far.

   #3. Landry Nnoko (6'10''-C-94, graduated '16, currently in Germany) managed to help ALBA Berlin to win against the eighth-ranked Braunschweig (5-11) 82-74 in the German BBL last Tuesday. He scored only 4 points, had 7 rebounds and made 2 blocks in 22 minutes. ALBA Berlin (14-4) is placed fourth in the BBL. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. It's Nnoko's first season with the team. This year Nnoko averages 8.4ppg, 6.3rpg, 1.1apg and 1.1bpg.

   #4. Gabe DeVoe (6'3''-G-95, graduated '18, plays pro in Poland). He could not help Stelmet Enea BC Zielona Gora (4-12) to beat Astana (10-6) in the VTB United League. DeVoe recorded 5 points. Stelmet Enea BC Zielona Gora lost 70-84 on the road to the much higher-ranked (#5) Astana. There are only three games left until the end of the VTB United League Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. This year DeVoe averages 7.8ppg, 2.6rpg and 1.8apg in 16 games.

   #5. Damarcus Harrison (6'4''-G-92, graduated '15, plays in Latvia) was not able to help TLU/Kalev in their game against Rapla (10-10) in the Latvian LatEstBL. Harrison did not have that impressive stats last Thursday. He recorded only 3 points and grabbed 4 rebounds in 20 minutes. TLU/Kalev was edged 86-83 at home by the higher-ranked Rapla (#7). It was TLU/Kalev's fourth consecutive loss in a row. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. Harrison has relatively good stats this season 11.7ppg, 3.8rpg, 1.6apg and 1.4spg.
