Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Tigers players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Alberto Torres (6'7''-F-1998, played in 2018-20, plays pro in Spain) was the major contributor in Rivas' victory against the second-ranked Real Madrid 2nd team (21-2) 63-61 in the Spanish EBA (fourth division) in Saturday night's game. He recorded 15 points in 29 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 3 ranked teams in Group B-B. Uros de Rivas Aticon (19-5) is placed third. It was his team's sixth consecutive victory in a row. They will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical. This year Torres averages 7.5ppg, 2.8rpg and 1.6apg in 24 games he played so far.
#2. Robert Heise (6'7''-PF-2000, played in 2019-20, plays in Germany) could not help Itzehoe Eagles (8-18) in their last game on Saturday. Despite his good performance the 12th-placed Itzehoe Eagles (8-18) was badly defeated95-79 on the road by the higher-ranked Kangaroos (#11) in the North group. Heise was the second best scorer with 12 points. He also added 4 rebounds. The Regular Season already ended. This season Heise averages 4.3ppg and 3.3rpg.
#3. Austin Rebel (6'5''-G/F, played in 2017-20, currently in Australia) was not able to help Kalamunda Eastern Suns in their game against Eagles (0-3) in the Australian NBL One (second division). It was not his best game last Friday. Rebel scored only 2 points in 10 minutes. It was his first game for Kalamunda Eastern Suns this season. The 12th-placed Kalamunda Eastern Suns (0-2) were badly defeated99-83 in Morley by the lower-ranked (#12) Eagles in the West group. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
#4. Yago de Santiago (6'1''-F-2003, played in 2021-22, plays pro in Spain) was not able to secure a victory for Pozuelo (7-18) in their game against La Solana (6-19) in the Spanish EBA (fourth division). Despite his good performance in Saturday night's game de Santiago was the top scorer with 11 points. His team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And now that game is very crucial. de Santiago has relatively good stats this season 11.0ppg and 5.9rpg.
