We bring you last week's top former Trojans players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. TaiSheka Porchia (6'1''-F-2000, played in 2022-24, plays pro in Romania) led Arad to a victory over the closely-ranked Sf.Gheorghe (1-1) 73-59 in the Romanian Liga Nationala in Sunday night's game.
She was MVP of the game. Porchia had a double-double by scoring 23 points and getting 15 rebounds. She also added 3 blocks and 3 steals in 37 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Porchia's second season in pro basketball. FCC Baschet Arad (3-1) is placed third in the Liga Nationala.
It was her 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.
Porchia has individually a very good year with high stats. She averages 23.0ppg, 13.3rpg, 2.0apg, 2.0bpg and 1.8spg in four games she played so far.
#2. Ashley Beverly-Kelley (5'6''-G-1993, played in 2012-16, plays in Russia) could not help one of league's weakest teams Nadezhda (4-2) in their last game on Tuesday. Despite her good performance Nadezhda was defeated 70-58 at home by the higher-ranked MBA (#3).
Beverly-Kelley was the top scorer with 13 points. She also added 7 rebounds.
This season Beverly-Kelley averages 9.8ppg, 3.8rpg, 3.2apg and 1.2spg.
#3. Agustina Talasimov (5'9''-F-1999, played in 2023-24, currently in Spain) was the main contributor in GEIG's victory against the 14th-ranked Andratx (0-4) 71-59 in the Spanish LF2 (third division) on Saturday night.
Talasimov was MVP of the game. She recorded 14 points in 29 minutes.
GEiEG UniGirona (3-1) is placed fourth in Group A.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
This year Talasimov averages 5.8ppg and 4.0rpg in four games.
She has also Spanish nationality.
