RJ Gunn (6'7''-G/F-1999, played in 2017-21, plays pro in Germany) led his German team SYNTAINICS MBC Weissenfels to an easy victory against the eighth-ranked Fyllingen (0-3) crushing them 107-64 in the European North Basketball League on Wednesday night. He scored 11 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in a mere 18 minutes. SYNTAINICS MBC Weissenfels (2-0) is placed second in the European North Basketball League. There are only four games left until the end of the European North Basketball League Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. It's Gunn's first season with the team. This year Gunn averages 8.5ppg, 4.5rpg and 2.5apg.
#2. Emmanuel Wembi (6'9''-C-1997, played in 2017-19, plays in Spain) led Menorca to an easy victory against the closely-ranked Cartagena (2-3) crushing them 97-61 in the Spanish Primera FEB (second division) in Saturday night's game. Wembi scored 15 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. Hestia Menorca (2-3) is placed ninth in the Primera FEB. It was his team's first victory after three consecutive loses. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. It's Wembi's first year with the team. This season he averages 7.6ppg, 4.2rpg and 1.4spg in five games he played so far. Wembi is a naturalized Congolese.
