Every week we bring you a list of the top former Bulldogs players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Terrandus Smith, a 6'4'' guard/forward who graduated from Union, TN in 2020 and currently plays professionally in Australia, made a significant impact in a recent game. In a match against the 13th-ranked Slammers, Smith helped lead his team, the Kalamunda Eastern Suns, to a convincing 91-76 victory in the Australian NBL One. Despite the Slammers' best efforts, Smith's performance on the court proved crucial in securing the win for his team. With 6 points and 3 assists in just 26 minutes of play, Smith showcased his skills and helped his team maintain their unbeaten record in the Regular Season.
The Kalamunda Eastern Suns, sitting at the top of the West group with a 4-0 record, have been performing exceptionally well, thanks in part to Smith's contributions. His impressive individual season stats further highlight his value to the team, averaging 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. Smith's experience as a former Eurobasket Summer League player adds to his credibility, as this league is renowned for nurturing talent and preparing players for overseas basketball opportunities.
As the season is still in its early stages, there is much anticipation surrounding Smith's future performances and how he will continue to excel on the court. The Kalamunda Eastern Suns and their fans have high hopes for their champion player as they aim for success in the upcoming games.
#2. Jeremiah Littlepage, a 24-year-old 6'8'' forward and Bulldogs alumnus from 2025, showcased his talent playing professionally in Switzerland. In a recent game, he led BC Baeren Kleinbasel to an impressive victory over the sixth-ranked Meyrin, with a final score of 94-50 in the Swiss NLB (second division). Littlepage's stellar performance included a double-double, as he scored 10 points, secured 10 rebounds, provided 3 assists, and blocked 2 shots in just 30 minutes of play.
BC Baeren Kleinbasel currently holds the third position in the Places 1-8 group, with a record of 5-2. Littlepage's debut season with the team has been remarkable, as he continues to excel on the court. His exceptional contributions against Meyrin were instrumental in securing the champion title for his team.
Throughout the season, Littlepage has maintained impressive statistics, averaging 15.8 points per game, 11.9 rebounds per game (leading the league), 3.7 assists per game, 3.0 blocks per game (also leading the league), and 1.4 steals per game. His consistent performance and leadership on the court have undoubtedly solidified his position as a finalist in the league.
#3. Experienced champion AJ Roberts, a 6'5'' guard who is 35 years old and graduated from Union, TN in 2014, currently plays professionally in the United Kingdom. Despite his best efforts, Roberts could not lead the London Cavaliers (15-11) to victory against the Rockets (18-8) in the British Championship Basketball final (second division). The Cavaliers suffered a 74-62 defeat on the road against the higher-ranked Rockets (#3), making Saturday's game a challenging one for Roberts.
During the game, Roberts managed to contribute 3 points and 4 assists in 34 minutes of play. This performance was not one of his best, given the outcome of the match. It is noteworthy that this is Roberts' first season with the team, and despite his efforts, he was unable to secure a win against the Rockets.
In a previous game against Birmingham R., Roberts scored 3 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, and provided 4 assists. However, his individual contributions were not enough to lead the London Cavaliers to victory on that occasion either.
Throughout the season, Roberts has maintained relatively good statistics, averaging 13.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. Despite facing challenges, as a champion player, Roberts continues to strive for success and aims to lead his team to victory in future games.
