We bring you last week's top former Hilltopper players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Uche Dibiamaka (6'4''-G-1999, played in 2021-23, plays pro in Australia) was the major contributor in a Brisbane Capitals' victory against the second-ranked Thunder (12-1) 109-100 in the Australian NBL One (second division) on Friday night.
He scored 23 points and added 5 assists in 35 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Dibiamaka's second season in pro basketball. It was the game of the round between two top 3 ranked teams in group North. Brisbane Capitals (8-5) are placed third.
His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical.
Dibiamaka has individually a very good season with high stats. He averages 18.7ppg, 5.2rpg and 2.2apg.
Dibiamaka has also Australian nationality.
#2. Lucas Doria (6'8''-C-1997, played in 2016-20, plays in Mexico) managed to help Fuerza Regia Monterrey in a victory against the 12th-ranked El Calor (1-5) crushing them 95-74 in the Mexican LNBP (second division) in Saturday night's game.
He recorded only 4 points and grabbed 5 rebounds.
Fuerza Regia Monterrey (11-5) is placed third in the LNBP.
It was his team's tenth consecutive victory in a row.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
This year Doria averages 5.0ppg, 3.2rpg and 1.5apg in six games he played so far.
#3. Corey Shervill (6'7''-F-1998, played in 2017-21, currently in Australia) led Lakeside Lightning to an easy victory against the eighth-ranked Hawks (9-8) 110-91 in the Australian NBL One (second division) last Saturday.
He recorded 25 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in 30 minutes.
Lakeside Lightning (6-12) is placed tenth in West group.
There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game is very crucial.
This season Shervill has very high stats. He averages 19.0ppg, 6.0rpg, 2.5apg and 1.4spg.
#4. Glenn Morison (6'10''-C-1999, played in 2020-20, plays pro in Australia) led Canberra Basketball to a victory against the seventh-ranked Mustangs (10-10) 76-71 in the Australian NBL One (second division) on Saturday night.

Canberra Basketball (15-5) is placed second in East group.
The Regular Season already ended.
