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

   #1. In a recent game, Damian Dunn, a 6'5'' guard who graduated from Pittsburgh in 2025 and currently plays professionally in Israel, showcased his talent despite his team's loss. Playing for Hapoel Altshuler Shaham Beer Sheva, one of the league's struggling teams, Dunn faced off against Galil Elion and delivered an outstanding performance. Despite H.Be'er Sheva's 78-92 defeat on the road, Dunn emerged as the champion scorer, contributing 24 points and 3 assists in 33 minutes of play. This noteworthy display of skill is particularly impressive considering that Dunn is in his debut season in professional basketball. Throughout the season, Dunn has maintained solid statistics, averaging 13.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in the 10 games he has played thus far. Despite his individual success, Dunn's efforts have not been enough to lift his team to victory in their recent games.

   #2. Jared Wilson-Frame, a 6'5'' shooting guard and Panthers alum from 2019, showcased his skills in leading Pioneros de Los Mochis to a decisive victory against the closely-ranked Toros in a recent Mexican Circuito de Baloncesto de la Costa del Pacifico game. With a final score of 108-96, Wilson-Frame's stellar performance included 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in 35 minutes of play.

Despite it being his first season with the team, Wilson-Frame has proven himself as a champion on the court. His consistent high-level play is reflected in his impressive season averages of 17.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game across 30 appearances. As a key player for Pioneros de Los Mochis, Wilson-Frame's contributions have been instrumental in their success, positioning him as a standout finalist in the league.

Despite his impressive performance, scoring 17 points and grabbing 6 rebounds in just 23 minutes, Osaka Evessa fell short against the lower-ranked Robots with a final score of 81-87 in Mito. Even though the Regular Season has concluded, Luther has had a standout year individually, showcasing strong statistics throughout the 56 games played. He has maintained an average of 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game, highlighting his valuable contributions to the team.

Brown-Soares contributed 7 points and 3 rebounds during his 21 minutes on the court, proving to be instrumental in securing the crucial win for his team.
