Every week we bring you a list of the top former Lancers players who continue their career in pro basketball.


   #1. Taj Spencer (6'7''-F, graduated '16, plays pro in Australia) could not help Sutherland Sharks (5-0) in their game last Saturday. Despite his very good performance the second-placed Sutherland Sharks (5-0) were defeated 83-73 on the road by the lower-ranked Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (#4) in the WARATAH group. Spencer recorded a double-double by scoring 25 points and getting 14 rebounds in 31 minutes. Spencer has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 22.3ppg, 11.8rpg and 1.5apg.

   #2. Jeremy Lieberman (6'1''-PG, graduated '18, plays in Israel) was not able to help Hapoel Kfar Saba/Shalom (4-22) in their last game. Despite his good performance the bottom-ranked Hapoel Kfar Saba/Shalom lost 75-90 in Yavne to the higher-ranked (#8) Elitzur. Lieberman recorded 11 points and added 3 assists. It was Hapoel Kfar Saba/Shalom's ninth consecutive loss in a row. The Regular Season already ended. This year Lieberman averages 7.5ppg, 1.8rpg, 1.5apg and 1.1spg in eight games he played so far.

   #3. Luke Evans (6'8''-PF-91, graduated '13, currently in Japan) was not able to secure a victory for one of league's weakest teams Koshigaya Alphas (3-3) in their game against Tokyo Excellence (4-0) in the Japanese B League D3. Evans scored 9 points, had 13 rebounds and dished 3 assists in 33 minutes. But Koshigaya Alphas were defeated 88-75 in a derby game by the leading Tokyo Excellence. It's Evans' first season with the team. He has relatively good stats this year 11.2ppg, 7.0rpg and 1.3apg.

   #4. Garrett Jefferson (6'3''-G-91, graduated '14, plays pro in Germany) couldn't help Wolmirstedt (18-9) in their game against Aschersleben (12-14) in the German Regionalliga (fourth division), despite his very good performance last Saturday. He was the top scorer with 18 points. Jefferson also added 5 assists and 4 steals. But the third-placed Wolmirstedt (18-9) lost 85-91 at home to the lower-ranked (#9) Aschersleben in the North group. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. Jefferson has very impressive stats this year 19.9ppg, 5.3rpg, 2.7apg and 2.3spg in 26 games.
