#1. Experienced Larry Taylor (6'1''-PG-80, graduated '03, plays pro in Brazil). He could not help Paschoalotto/Bauru (13-5) to beat Vivo/Franca (14-2) in the Brazilian NBB. Taylor recorded only 4 points and grabbed 7 rebounds in 27 minutes. Paschoalotto/Bauru was badly defeated 88-71 on the road by the lower-ranked (#3) Vivo/Franca. It was Paschoalotto/Bauru's third consecutive loss in a row. This year Taylor averages 8.1ppg, 3.6rpg, 3.7apg and 1.1spg in nine games he played so far. He is a naturalized Brazilian.
#2. Demarius Bolds (6'4''-G-84, graduated '06, plays in Lebanon) managed to help Champville to win against the sixth-ranked Byblos (4-8) 83-79 in the Lebanese LBL last Sunday. Bolds recorded only 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Champville (10-2) is placed first in the LBL. It was his team's seventh consecutive victory in a row.
