#1. Daviyon Draper, a 6'7'' forward who is 31 years old and graduated from FIU in 2016, has an interesting basketball background. Although he played for Antelope Valley between 2012 and 2014, he now competes professionally in Mexico. Recently, Draper suited up for Gambusinos de Fresnillo in the Mexican Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (second division) but couldn't lead his team to victory against Soles. The game ended in a 62-69 loss on the road for Gambusinos de Fresnillo, marking their third consecutive defeat. Despite his efforts, Draper only managed to score 3 points and grab 1 rebound in the match, which was not considered one of his best performances. It is important to note that this is still early in the season, and there is room for improvement. This season, Draper is averaging 4.5 points per game and 1.8 rebounds per game in the four games he has played so far. Draper, who holds both American and Mexican citizenship, is eligible to play in Mexico as a domestic player. This marks his first year with the team, and while the recent loss was disappointing, there are more opportunities ahead for Draper and Gambusinos de Fresnillo to turn things around in the league.
