Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Trappers players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Chris Boucher (6'10''-F/C-1993, played in 2014-15, plays pro in the NBA). He could not help the Boston Celtics (4-6) to beat the Utah Jazz (3-6) in the NBA. Boucher scored 5 points in 8 minutes. The Boston Celtics (4-6) were edged105-103 on the road by the Utah Jazz. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. It's Boucher's first year with the team. This season he averages 2.5ppg and 1.7rpg in six games he played so far. Boucher has also Saint Lucian citizenship.
#2. Lagio Grantsaan (6'8''-F-1997, played in 2017-19, plays in Iceland) was not able to help Armann in their last game on Friday. Despite his very good performance the league leader Armann was defeated 96-83 in a derby game by the lower-ranked IR (#6). Grantsaan recorded a double-double by scoring 15 points and getting 10 rebounds. Grantsaan has relatively good stats this season 10.7ppg, 5.0rpg, 1.3apg and 2.0spg.
#3. Andre Loigu (6'1''-PG-2001, played in 2020-23, currently in Estonia) managed to help Paide Viking Window in a victory against the league leader Rapla (6-1) 93-76 in the Estonian 1 Liiga (second division) in Friday night's game. He recorded only one point in 3 minutes on the court. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. Paide Viking Window (5-1) is placed second in the 1 Liiga. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. But the season just started, so everything may happen. This year Loigu averages 3.3ppg in six games.
#4. Experienced Jeffrey Solarin (6'4''-F-1992, played in 2012-13, plays pro in Spain) contributed to a 3-point Sant Antoni's victory against the sixth-ranked Benicarlo (3-2) 78-75 in the Spanish Segunda FEB (third division) last Saturday. He scored only 3 points. Class Sant Antoni Ibiza (4-1) is placed fourth in East group. It was his team's third consecutive victory in a row. But the season is still in its first stage and everything can happen. This season Solarin averages 7.8ppg and 4.0rpg.
