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

   #1. C.J. Turnage (6'7''-F/G-1995, played in 2013-17, plays pro in Australia) led Joondalup City Wanneroo Wolves to an easy victory against the third-ranked Tigers (15-6) 95-78 in the Australian NBL One (second division) in Saturday night's game. He recorded 11 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in 33 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 3 ranked teams in group West. Joondalup City Wanneroo Wolves (15-5) are placed second. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. Turnage has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 22.5ppg, 7.3rpg, 4.0apg and 1.3spg in 20 games he played so far.

   #2. Caleb Davis (6'9''-F-1995, played in 2013-17, plays in Australia) is a teammate of previously mentioned C.J. Turnage and both played together in the last Australian NBL One game. Davis led Joondalup City Wanneroo Wolves to an easy victory against the third-ranked Tigers (15-6) 95-78. He recorded 12 points and grabbed 9 rebounds. Davis has relatively good stats this season 14.2ppg, 8.0rpg, 2.9apg and 1.1spg.

   #3. James Toohey (6'2''-G-1998, played in 2019-22, currently in Australia) was the major contributor in a Canberra Gunners' victory against the seventh-ranked Sydney City Comets (11-8) 85-79 in the Australian NBL One (second division) on Saturday night. He recorded 18 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 40 minutes. Canberra Gunners (17-2) are placed first in East group. It was his team's fourth consecutive victory in a row. They will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And now that game is very crucial. Toohey has relatively good stats this year 10.3ppg, 3.2rpg, 3.5apg and 2.4spg in 19 games.

   #4. Jack Roberts (6'5''-G-1999, played in 2018-20, plays pro in Australia). He could not help Dandenong Rangers (15-6) to beat Spectres (11-10) in the Australian NBL One (second division). Roberts' contribution was not very remarkable in Friday's game. He scored only 2 points. The third-placed Dandenong Rangers (15-6) were defeated 83-78 on the road by the much lower-ranked Spectres (#11) in the South group. Roberts' team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And now that game is quite important. Roberts has relatively good stats this season 13.4ppg, 4.3rpg and 1.8apg.
