Traditionally, every week we bring you a list of the top former Knights players who continue their career in pro basketball.


   #1. Yuki Miyazawa (6'0''-F-93, graduated '09, plays pro in Japan) led JX Eneos Sunflowers to a victory against the closely-ranked Mitsubishi Koalas (16-6) 82-76 in the Japanese WJBL on Sunday night. He scored 21 points, grabbed 5 boards, handed out 5 passes and blocked 4 shots in 40 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. JX Eneos Sunflowers (20-2) are placed first in the WJBL. It was his team's sixth consecutive victory in a row. It's Miyazawa's seventh season with the team. Miyazawa has relatively good stats this year 12.6ppg, 7.0rpg, 2.3apg and 1.4bpg.

   #2. Jeremiah Mordi (6'4''-G, graduated '15, plays in Canada). He could not help the Saint John Riptide (13-21) to beat the Titans (16-16) in the NBLCanada. Mordi recorded 6 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. The Saint John Riptide (#4) lost 94-99 on the road to the Titans. There are only four games left until the end of the NBLCanada Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. Mordi has relatively good stats this year 10.1ppg, 5.8rpg, 3.2apg and 1.5spg in 34 games he played so far.

   #3. Tyrone Hall (6'3''-C/F-90, graduated '18, currently in Belize) contributed to Verdes' victory against the closely-ranked Defenders (2-3) 76-71 in the Belizean NEBL last Thursday. He scored 15 points, grabbed 8 boards, passed 7 assists and added 4 steals in 35 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Hall's first season in pro basketball. Verdes (3-1) is placed second in the NEBL. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Hall has relatively good stats this year 13.3ppg, 4.8rpg, 4.3apg and 1.8spg. He is a naturalized Belizean.

   #4. Tyree White (6'4''-G/F, graduated '17, plays pro in Canada) led Island Storm to a victory over the Halifax Hurricanes (20-12) crushing them 129-105 in the NBLCanada on Sunday night. He was MVP of the game. White had a double-double by scoring 21 points and getting 16 rebounds. He also added 4 assists; not bad, considering it's only White's second season in pro basketball. The Island Storm has rather weak 7-22 record this season. White has relatively good stats this year 10.4ppg, 7.1rpg, 3.6apg and 1.7spg in 28 games.
