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

   #1. Khapri Alston (6'5''-F-94, graduated '16, plays pro in Chile) could not help Club Deportivo Valdivia (20-12) in their last game. Despite his very good performance the second-placed Club Deportivo Valdivia (20-12) lost 67-72 on the road to the lower-ranked (#3) Aleman in the Conferencia Sur. Alston had a double-double by scoring 24 points and getting 12 rebounds in 36 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his third season in pro basketball. Alston has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 22.3ppg, 15.6rpg, 1.9apg, 1.1bpg and 2.0spg in 31 games he played so far.

   #2. Experienced Eric Dawson (6'9''-F/C-84, graduated '07, plays in Uruguay) was not able to help Defensor (0-1) in their last game on Tuesday. Despite Dawson's very good performance the fifth-placed Defensor (0-1) was defeated 82-73 in a derby game by the leading Trouville in the Places 1-6 group. He recorded a double-double by scoring 18 points and getting 10 rebounds. Dawson also added 2 blocks. There are only four games left until the end of the Second Stage. So now every game will be critical. This season Dawson has very high stats. He averages 22.3ppg, 15.6rpg, 1.9apg, 1.1bpg and 2.0spg. Worth to mention he played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.

   #3. Abiodun Adegoke (6'8''-F-91, graduated '15, currently in Chile) was not able to secure a victory for Temuco (20-11) in their game against Puente Alto (14-18) in the Chilean Liga Nacional. He recorded 7 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in 18 minutes. The first-placed Temuco (20-11) lost 83-89 in Puente Alto to the lower-ranked (#4) Puente Alto in the Conferencia Centro. It's Adegoke's first season with the team. Adegoke has relatively good stats this year 14.5ppg, 8.8rpg and 1.1apg in 22 games.

   #4. Nix Tavarion (6'7''-PF-92, graduated '15, plays pro in Ukraine) couldn't help Cherkasy (6-15) in their game against Mykolaiv (11-12) in the Ukrainian Superleague. Tavarion's contribution was not very remarkable in Sunday's game. He recorded only 3 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. The bottom-ranked Cherkasy was defeated 80-73 on the opponent's court by the higher-ranked Mykolaiv (#5). There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial. This season Tavarion averages 7.9ppg and 3.6rpg.

   #5. Cameron Adderley (6'2''-G, graduated '14, plays in Bahamas) contributed to an easy victory against the closely-ranked Mingoes (10-6) crushing them 98-63 in a derby game in the Bahamas NPBA last Monday. Adderley recorded 8 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 17 minutes. JD's Seafood Shockers (9-7) is placed fifth in the NPBA. It was his team's sixth consecutive victory in a row. This year Adderley averages 7.3ppg and 4.1rpg in 12 games.
