Every week we bring you a list of the top former Coyotes players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Robby Robinson III (6'8''-F-1999, played in 2022-24, plays pro in Portugal) led Sporting to a victory over one of league's weakest teams Galitos-Barreiro (0-5) crushing them 127-86 in the Portuguese Liga Betclic in Sunday night's game.
He was MVP of the game. Robinson III scored 19 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and dished 7 assists in 20 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only his second season in pro basketball. Sporting Clube de Portugal Lisboa (2-1) is placed second in the Liga Betclic.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
This year Robinson III averages 9.6ppg, 5.2rpg and 3.2apg in five games he played so far.
#2. Elijah Hardy (6'2''-G-1999, graduated '2023, plays in Kazakhstan) could not help one of league's weakest teams Almaty Legion (6-2) in their last game on Sunday. Despite his very good performance Almaty Legion was crushed106-73 on the road by the leading Astana.
Hardy was the top scorer with 24 points. He also added 4 rebounds and dished 3 assists.
But the season just started, so everything may happen.
Hardy has individually a very good year with high stats. He averages 25.5ppg, 5.3rpg and 4.5apg.
Worth to mention Hardy played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped him get the job in pro basketball.
#3. Nic Welp (6'9''-F-2002, played in 2024-25, currently in Germany) managed to help HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim in a victory against the closely-ranked Bayreuth (3-1) 79-63 in the German ProA (second division) on Sunday night.
He scored only one point in 3 minutes on the court.
It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim (6-2) is placed fourth in the ProA.
But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen.
It's Welp's first year with the team.
This season Welp averages 1.2ppg and 1.5rpg in six games.
#4. Charlie Henderson (6'9''-F-2002, played in 2024-25, plays pro in Spain) was not able to help Getafe in their game against Sol Girones (2-4) in the Spanish Segunda FEB (third division).
He scored 5 points.
The seventh-placed Getafe (3-3) was defeated 88-82 in La Bisbal by the lower-ranked Sol Girones (#11) in the East group.
But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen.
It's Henderson's first year with the team.
This season Henderson averages 9.4ppg and 3.8rpg.
