Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC Every week we bring you a list of the top former Bobcats players who continue their career in pro basketball.
#1. Experienced David Nesbitt (6'9''-PF-1991, played in 2009-12, plays pro in Uruguay) led Goes to a victory over the closely-ranked U.Atletica (3-5) 78-62 in a derby game in the Uruguayan LUB on Monday night. He was MVP of the game. Nesbitt recorded 23 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in 28 minutes. Goes Montevideo (1-6) is placed second from the bottom (#11) in the LUB. There are only two games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. It's Nesbitt's first season with the team. He has individually a very good year with high stats. Nesbitt averages 15.3ppg, 7.3rpg and 1.3apg.
#2. Dalon Dean (6'3''-G-2001, played in 2022-25, plays in Albania) was the major contributor in Beselidhja's victory against the eighth-ranked Fieri (2-4) crushing them 113-52 in the Albanian Superliga in Tuesday night's game. He scored 14 points; quite an impressive performance considering it's only Dean's first season in pro basketball. Beselidhja Lezhe (6-0) is placed second in the Superliga. So far his team won all six games in the Regular Season. They will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And now that game is very crucial. It's Dean's first year with the team. He has relatively good stats this season 14.5ppg, 3.0rpg and 1.5apg in six games he played so far.
#3. Lee Richmond (6'1''-G, played in 2019-22, currently in Thailand), who plays in the Thailand TEBA (second division) could not help Chumphon Crocodiles (0-3) in their game last Sunday. Despite his good performance the fifth-placed Chumphon Crocodiles (0-3) were defeated 83-74 on the road by the leading Coyotes in the Western Conference. Richmond scored 11 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and dished 3 assists in 26 minutes. It was his first game for Chumphon Crocodiles this season. There are only four games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be important.
#4. Fotis Malelis (6'10''-F-1997, played in 2016-19, plays pro in Greece) managed to help AS Papagou Athens in a 2-point victory against the closely-ranked Koroivos (4-3) 69-67 in the Greek Elite League (second division) on Saturday night. He recorded only 2 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. AS Papagou Athens (4-3) is placed sixth in the Elite League. But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen. It's Malelis' first year with the team. This season Malelis averages 9.1ppg, 4.9rpg and 2.1apg in seven games.
