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


   #1. Chima Moneke (6'6''-F-95, graduated '18, plays pro in France) could not help Denain ASC Voltaire (7-17) in their last game. Despite his very good performance Denain ASC Voltaire lost 94-101 on the road to the much higher-ranked (#3) Sluc Nancy. Moneke was the second best scorer with 18 points. He also added 8 rebounds and dished 3 assists in 23 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Moneke's first season in pro basketball. It was Denain ASC Voltaire's seventh consecutive loss in a row. It's Moneke's first year with the team. He has relatively good stats this season 13.4ppg, 6.4rpg, 1.6apg and 1.5spg in 17 games he played so far.

   #2. Brynton Lemar (6'4''-G-95, graduated '17, plays in Hungary) led Sopron KC to a victory over the closely-ranked Alba (11-13) crushing them 87-65 in the Hungarian A Division last Sunday. Lemar was MVP of the game. He recorded 27 points (!!!); not bad, considering it's only Lemar's second season in pro basketball. Sopron KC (11-14) is placed 12th in the A Division. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. Lemar has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 17.6ppg, 3.3rpg and 2.9apg. Lemar is a naturalized Jamaican.

   #3. Josh Ritchart (6'9''-F/C-92, graduated '15, currently in Australia) was the main contributor in a Rockingham Flames' victory against the 12th-ranked Cougars (0-3) crushing them 120-90 in the Australian State League (second division) on Saturday night. Ritchart was MVP of the game. He had a double-double by scoring 28 points and getting 10 rebounds in a mere 18 minutes. Rockingham Flames (2-1) are placed sixth in SBL group. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Ritchart has very impressive stats this year 21.7ppg, 6.7rpg, 3.7apg and 2.7bpg in three games.

   #4. Joshua Fox (6'6''-F-94, graduated '16, plays pro in Australia) contributed to a Ballarat Miners' victory against the tenth-ranked Spectres (1-1) 94-87 in the Australian State League (second division) in Saturday night's game. Fox was MVP of the game. He recorded a double-double by scoring 20 points and getting 13 rebounds. It was his first game for Ballarat Miners this season. His team are placed third in NBL1 group. But the season just started, so everything may happen.
