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

   #1. Brandon Robinson (6'6''-SG-89, graduated '11, plays pro in Chile) could not help Las Animas (24-8) in their game last Monday. Despite his very good performance the first-placed Las Animas (24-8) was edged 80-78 at home by the lower-ranked AB Ancud (#4) in the Conferencia Sur. Robinson was the top scorer with 35 points. He also added 5 rebounds in 39 minutes. It's Robinson's first season with the team. Robinson has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 23.0ppg, 6.8rpg, 3.8apg and 2.4spg.

   #2. Richard Bell (6'9''-F/C-91, graduated '16, plays in United Kingdom) was not able to help Manchester Magic (9-5) in their last game. Despite his good performance Manchester Magic was badly defeated 83-63 on the road by the much lower-ranked (#11) Dragons. Bell had a double-double by scoring 13 points and getting 11 rebounds. He also added 3 blocks. There are only three games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. It's Bell's first season with the team. Bell has relatively good stats this year 13.0ppg, 9.6rpg, 1.9apg and 1.1bpg in 16 games he played so far.

   #3. Experienced Jonathan Beugnot (6'7''-PF-83, graduated '07, currently in France) was not able to secure a victory for Feurs EF (4-4) in their game against Saint Vallier (2-6) in the French NM1 (third division). He scored 7 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in 26 minutes. The tenth-placed Feurs EF (4-4) was badly defeated 88-69 on their home court in Feurs by the higher-ranked Saint Vallier (#9) in the Places 11-20 group. The Regular Season already ended. It's Beugnot's sixth season with the team. This year Beugnot averages 6.1ppg, 5.4rpg and 1.5spg.

   #4. Takija Knight (6'8''-PF-94, graduated '16, plays pro in Armenia) led Artsakh to a victory against the league outsider Erebuni (4-16) 83-74 in the Armenian League A on Thursday night. Knight had a double-double by scoring 15 points and getting 10 rebounds. He also added 5 assists and 3 steals; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Knight's third season in pro basketball. FC Artsakh (11-9) is placed third in the League A. It was his team's fifth consecutive victory in a row. Knight has relatively good stats this year 12.9ppg, 11.0rpg, 3.1apg, 1.1bpg and 2.3spg in 22 games. He is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas.
