Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Bluewave players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
#1. Joshua Scott (6'1''-G-1998, played in 2016-18, plays pro in Serbia) managed to help KK FMP SoccerBet Beograd in a victory against the closely-ranked Krka (0-6) crushing them 82-61 in the ABA League in Saturday night's game. He scored only 3 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 24 minutes. It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. KK FMP SoccerBet Beograd (3-2) is placed first in the ABA League. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. Scott has relatively good stats this year 12.0ppg, 3.2rpg, 2.6apg and 2.0spg in five games he played so far.
#2. Malcolm Richardson (6'1''-G-1994, played in 2016-18, plays in Luxembourg) could not help Amicale (4-4) in their last game on Saturday. Despite Richardson's good performance Amicale was defeated 85-71 at home by the higher-ranked Etzella (#3). He recorded a double-double by scoring 13 points and getting 10 rebounds. Richardson also added 5 assists. It's Richardson's first season with the team. He has individually a very good year with high stats. Richardson averages 15.4ppg, 6.6rpg, 5.3apg and 1.9spg.
#3. Ja'Derryus Eatmon (6'10''-F-2001, played in 2019-21, currently in Czech Republic) was not able to help Usti n/Labem in their game against Nymburk (10-0) in the Czech Republic NBL. It was not Eatmon's best game last Sunday. He recorded only 2 points in 12 minutes. Usti n/Labem lost 83-87 on their home court in Usti nad Labem to the leading Nymburk. It's Eatmon's first season with the team. This year Eatmon averages 3.0ppg and 3.5rpg in four games.
#4. Travis McConico (6'6''-F/G-1997, played in 2015-17, plays pro in Italy) led Juvi Cremona to a 1-point victory over the 17th-ranked Bergamo (4-6) 66-65 in the Italian Serie A2 (second division) in Sunday night's game. McConico was MVP of the game. He recorded 19 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. Ferraroni Juvi Cremona (5-5) is placed 11th in the Serie A2. But the season just started, so everything may happen. It's McConico's first year with the team. McConico has relatively good stats this season 12.9ppg, 4.8rpg, 2.0apg and 1.2spg.
