Here is the weekly review of the top performing Aces alumni, who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Canadian point guard Shamar Givance, standing at 5'11'' and 26 years old, is a UTEP graduate from 2023. Although he played for Evansville from 2018 to 2022, he now showcases his skills in France as a professional basketball player. In his current stint with Champagne, with a record of 21-17, Givance faced a tough matchup against Pau-Lacq-Orthez, the second-ranked team in the league, in their recent game.
Despite a commendable individual performance, where he contributed 13 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist in just 22 minutes of play against Pau-Lacq-Orthez, Givance's efforts were not enough to secure a victory for Champagne. This game marked his first season with the team, where he has been a valuable asset throughout the season.
In the 40 games he has played so far this season, Givance has been averaging 9.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. His consistent contributions on the court demonstrate his importance to the team, despite the unfortunate loss in the recent game against Pau-Lacq-Orthez.
