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


   #1. Experienced champion Aaron Broussard, a 6'5'' guard who is 36 years old and graduated from Seattle in 2012, currently plays professionally in Portugal. In a recent game, he played a crucial role in his team's dominant 90-72 victory over the eighth-ranked Braga in the Portuguese Liga Betclic Masculina. Broussard's impressive performance included 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 6 assists, showcasing his skills on the court. He also made all five of his free throws during the game, demonstrating his accuracy and composure under pressure. Sport Lisboa Benfica, Broussard's team, is currently leading the league with a record of 20-2. This victory marked their fifth consecutive win, highlighting their strong form this season. Broussard, in his fifth season with the team, continues to be a key player contributing significantly to their success. With solid statistics this season averaging 13.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, Broussard has proven to be a valuable asset to his team. His consistent performance and leadership qualities truly exemplify those of a finalist.

   #2. Australian Kobe Williamson, a 6'8'' forward and 24-year-old Redhawks alumnus from 2025, played a crucial role in helping them secure the Australian NBL1 South Regular Season Champion title that year. Currently playing professionally in Australia, Williamson recently showcased his talent for the Knox Raiders but faced a tough challenge in their game last Saturday. Despite his impressive individual performance, where he recorded a double-double with 19 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks in 36 minutes, the fourth-placed Knox Raiders suffered a 101-94 defeat on the road against the much lower-ranked Northern Force, ranked #17 in the South group. Even though Williamson displayed outstanding skills and earned the Triple-Double Badge from eurobasket.com for his remarkable performance against Northern Force, his team was unable to secure the victory. His consistent performance throughout the season is evident in his stats, averaging 14.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game. Williamson's exceptional talent and dedication on the court solidify his status as a champion player.

   #3. Australian champion Brody Nunn, a 6'1'' guard who is 23 years old and graduated from Seattle in 2024 after helping them win the CBI Championship that year, now plays professionally in Australia. Nunn, a teammate of finalist Kobe Williamson, recently showcased his skills in an Australian NBL One game. Leading the Knox Raiders, Nunn guided his team to a dominant 105-80 victory over the second-ranked Tigers (7-2) in a fierce derby match. In this game, Nunn displayed an impressive performance, contributing 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists in just 32 minutes on the court. This remarkable showing is particularly noteworthy as Nunn is only in his second season of professional basketball. The Knox Raiders (7-3) currently hold the fourth position in the South group standings. Nunn's exceptional performance was highlighted by his noteworthy contribution of 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists in the game against Melbourne T, which played a crucial role in securing victory for his team and ultimately leading them to become the champion. Throughout the season, Nunn has maintained solid statistics, averaging 13.6 points per game, along with 3.3 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

   #4. Isiah Umipig, a 6'0'' point guard and 34-year-old Redhawks alumnus from 2015, is currently playing professionally in Bulgaria. Although he was unable to lead Spartak Pleven (16-14) to victory against Cherno More (22-8) in the Bulgarian National Basketball League, he put on a commendable performance. Umipig managed to score 8 points, making all five of his free throw attempts, in just 12 minutes of play. Despite his best efforts, Spartak Pleven fell short in a close 94-91 loss to the higher-ranked Cherno More (#3) in Varna. In the game against Cherno More, Umipig showcased his skills by contributing 8 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist. His individual performance was noteworthy, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough to secure the victory for his team. Throughout the season, Umipig has been averaging 4.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game.

   #5. Australian champion Tidjane Diop, a 6'8'' forward aged 35, who graduated from Seattle in 2012 and currently plays professionally in Australia, played a key role in his team's dominant 113-93 victory over the seventh-ranked Phoenix (2-2) in the Australian NBL One (second division) on Saturday night. Despite only being on the court for 12 minutes, Diop contributed 6 points to the scoreboard. The Gold Coast Rollers (3-1), currently placed fourth in the North group, secured their third consecutive victory thanks in part to Diop's valuable performance. With the season still in its early stages, the outcome of future matches remains uncertain. This marks Diop's eighth year with the team, and his impact was evident as he not only scored 6 points but also grabbed 2 rebounds and provided 1 assist against the SC Phoenix, ultimately helping his team emerge as the finalist. Throughout the season, Diop has maintained an average of 6.0 points per game and 3.3 rebounds per game.

   #6. Myles Carter, a 28-year-old center standing at 6'9'' and a Redhawks alumni from 2020, showcased his skills as he led the Caimanes to a decisive 92-82 victory over the closely-ranked Sabios in a Colombian LBP match on Wednesday night. Carter, currently playing professionally in Colombia, put on an impressive performance, earning himself the title of MVP of the game. Notably, he achieved a double-double by scoring 22 points and securing 11 rebounds, while also contributing 3 assists and 2 blocks during his 36 minutes on the court. Carter's stellar display against the Sabios not only helped his team secure the win but also earned him the prestigious Triple-Double Badge from eurobasket.com, further establishing his reputation as a champion player. Throughout the season, Carter has maintained high stats, averaging 20.0 points per game, 9.0 rebounds per game, and 2.0 assists per game, showcasing his consistent and impactful performance as a finalist player.
