#1. Josh Ferguson, a 29-year-old power forward standing at 6'8'' who graduated from Winthrop in 2020, has been making a significant impact in the Uruguayan Liga de Ascenso. Ferguson, who helped Winthrop to win the Big South Conf. Regular Season Co-Champion title, is now playing professionally in Uruguay for Sayago. In a recent game against the third-ranked Stockolmo, Ferguson was instrumental in leading Sayago to a 71-65 victory. He displayed an impressive performance by scoring 21 points, grabbing 11 rebounds, and contributing 2 blocks in 40 minutes of play. Sayago, currently placed sixth in the Places 1-8 group, is benefitting greatly from Ferguson's skills in his first season with the team. His remarkable double-double performance against Stockolmo earned him recognition, receiving the Triple-Double Badge from eurobasket.com and further solidifying his reputation as a champion player. Throughout the season, Ferguson has maintained high statistics, averaging 17.7 points per game (ranking fourth best in the league), 10.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game. His consistent contributions on the court highlight his talent and dedication as a finalist player in the league.
