We bring you last week's top former Tribe players who are currently playing in pro basketball.


   #1. Experienced Laimonas Kisielius (6'8''-F-85, graduated '08, plays pro in Lithuania) contributed to Neptunas' victory against the league outsider Nevezis (4-22) 78-70 in the Lithuanian LKL on Monday night.

He scored 15 points, had 4 rebounds and dished 3 assists; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Prewitt's second season in pro basketball. Legia Warszawa (12-12) is placed seventh in the EBL. Prewitt has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 17.6ppg, 6.1rpg, 2.5apg and 1.3spg in 24 games he played so far.

He recorded 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in 42 minutes; not bad, considering it's only Tot's first season in pro basketball. PP TV Raj Zilina (15-15) is placed fifth in the SBL. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. This season Tot averages 9.2ppg, 5.1rpg, 4.6apg and 2.0spg. He has also Slovakian citizenship.
