Here is the weekly review of the top performing Bears alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.


   #1. Kyle Weems (6'6''-F-89, graduated '12, plays pro in Turkey) contributed to a 3-point Tofas' victory against the closely-ranked Turk Telekom (11-10) 85-82 in the Turkish BSL on Saturday night. He scored 10 points, grabbed 4 rebounds and dished 5 assists in 33 minutes. Tofas Bursa (13-12) is placed third in the BSL. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. It's Weems' first season with the team. Weems has relatively good stats this year 11.1ppg, 3.9rpg, 2.3apg and 1.1spg.

   #2. Will Creekmore (6'9''-C-89, graduated '11, plays in Japan) could not help Yamagata (20-34) in their last game. Despite Creekmore's very good performance the fifth-placed Yamagata (20-34) lost 81-85 at home to the higher-ranked (#3) Cyberdyne IR in the East group. He was the top scorer with 25 points. Creekmore also added 8 rebounds and dished 3 assists. It was Yamagata's third consecutive loss in a row. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. Creekmore has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 22.2ppg, 13.3rpg and 3.3apg in 12 games he played so far.

   #3. Jordan Martin (6'8''-F-93, graduated '17, currently in Romania) led Targu Jiu to a 1-point victory over the second-ranked Marmatiei (18-9) 78-77 in the Romanian Liga Nationala last Thursday. He was MVP of the game. Martin recorded a double-double by scoring 20 points and getting 11 rebounds. He also added 2 blocks in 35 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Martin's second season in pro basketball. Asociatia Club Sportiva Targu Jiu (13-14) is placed fourth in Group Blue. It was his team's first victory after three consecutive loses. They will play only one more game in the Second Stage. And now that game is quite important. This season Martin has very high stats. He averages 21.6ppg, 13.1rpg and 1.1bpg.

   #4. Jarmar Gulley (6'5''-F/G-91, graduated '14, plays pro in Israel) was the major contributor in a Maccabi Raanana's victory against one of league's weakest teams Maccabi Rehovot (9-16) 81-75 in the Israeli National League (second division) on Tuesday night. He scored 16 points, had 4 boards, dished 5 assists and stole 5 balls. Maccabi Raanana (21-3) is placed first in the National League. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. They will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And now that game is extremely important. Gulley has very impressive stats this year 24.0ppg, 6.4rpg, 5.3apg and 2.8spg in 24 games.
