Traditionally, every week we bring you a list of the top former Dolphins players who continue their career in pro basketball.

   #1. Andris Misters (6'5''-G-92, graduated '17, plays pro in Latvia) led VEF Riga to a victory over the 13th-ranked Valga-Valka (6-17) crushing them 82-54 in the Latvian LatEstBL on Wednesday night. He was MVP of the game. Misters scored 23 points in 29 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his second season in pro basketball. VEF Riga (22-2) is placed second in the LatEstBL. It was his team's tenth consecutive victory in a row. There are only three games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. Misters has relatively good stats this season 10.2ppg, 3.3rpg and 1.4apg.

   #2. J.R. Holder (6'7''-F-94, graduated '17, plays in United Kingdom) was the major contributor in a Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders' victory against the league outsider Worcester Wolves (3-18) 85-80 in the British BBL in Friday night's game. He scored 18 points and added 4 passes; not bad, considering it's only Holder's second season in pro basketball. Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders (16-4) is placed second in the BBL.

Avantazh-Politekhnik Kharkov (7-19) is placed second from the bottom (#7) in the Superleague. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial.
