Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Blue Knights players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Davion Warren (6'6''-G, played in 2017-19, plays pro in the NBA G League) led Long Island Nets to an easy victory against the Capital City Go-Go (24-19) 125-109 in the NBA G League on Friday night. He recorded 17 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in 24 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Warren's second season in pro basketball. The Long Island Nets have 25-19 record this season. It was his team's fifth consecutive victory in a row. It's Warren's first year with the team. This season he averages 9.5ppg and 2.5rpg.
#2. Daquan Lilly (6'7''-F-1997, played in 2015-17, plays in Estonia) was the major contributor in a Tallinn Kalev's victory against the 11th-ranked Liepaja (11-17) 85-77 in the Lat-Est BL in Saturday night's game. Lilly scored 15 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. Tallinn Kalev/SNABB (4-23) closes the standings in the Lat-Est BL. There are only three games left until the end of the Lat-Est BL Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. This year Lilly averages 6.8ppg, 4.0rpg and 1.3apg in eight games he played so far.
#3. Nathan Scott (6'8''-F-1999, played in 2017-19, currently in Germany) led WWU Baskets Muenster to a victory against the 11th-ranked Eisbaeren Bremerhaven (12-14) 91-83 in the German ProA (second division) last Sunday. Scott scored 14 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in 27 minutes; not bad, considering it's only his second season in pro basketball. WWU Baskets Muenster (8-3) is placed first in the ProA. Scott has relatively good stats this season 13.6ppg, 7.8rpg, 1.3apg and 1.1spg.
#4. Trey Mitchell (6'5''-F-1995, played in 2013-14, plays pro in the TBL) contributed to an easy victory against the Lebanon Leprechauns (0-4) crushing them 130-104 in the TBL on Thursday night. Mitchell scored 12 points, grabbed 8 boards, handed out 3 passes and blocked 2 shots. The Kokomo Bobkats have 4-1 record this season. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. This year Mitchell averages 8.4ppg, 6.0rpg, 1.6apg and 1.8spg in five games.
