Courtesy of Eurobasket LLC We bring you last week's top former Moccasins players who are currently playing in pro basketball.
Look at great performance of Kristians Feierbergs (26 points), Peyton Gerald (21 points), and Jonathan Lawton (6 points).
#1. Latvian champion Kristians Feierbergs, a 6'8'' forward at 23 years old, graduated from FSC in 2025 and played a crucial role in guiding his team to the final of the SSC Tournament that year. Currently, he is showcasing his talent as a professional player in Latvia. In a recent game, despite his exceptional performance, Feierbergs was unable to help Liepaja secure a win against the lower-ranked (#4) Rigas Zelli, as they lost 92-102 at home. Feierbergs stood out as the second-best scorer of the game, contributing 26 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in 42 minutes of play. This remarkable display of skill is particularly impressive considering that this is only Feierbergs' first season in professional basketball and his first year with the team. Despite his outstanding individual performance, Liepaja fell short of victory against Rigas Zelli. Throughout this season, Feierbergs has consistently delivered high-quality performances, reflected in his impressive statistics. He currently averages 19.0 points per game (ranking fourth best in the league), 8.0 rebounds per game (also fourth best in the league), and 1.5 steals per game in the two games he has played so far. Feierbergs continues to demonstrate his prowess on the court and is undoubtedly a player to watch in the league.
#2. Peyton Gerald, a 6'9'' forward who is 23 years old and an alum of Moccasins from 2025, is currently playing professionally in Austria. He recently proved to be a key player in UBSC Raiffeisen Graz's victory over the sixth-ranked Dukes with a score of 88-82 in the Austrian Win2Day Basketball Superliga. In this game, Gerald showcased his skills by contributing 21 points and 8 rebounds in 40 minutes of play, a remarkable performance for a rookie in the professional basketball scene. Despite being in his first season of pro basketball, Gerald's impact on the court was evident. UBSC Raiffeisen Graz, currently holding the fifth position in the Places 1-6 group with a record of 17-13, secured a much-needed win, breaking a streak of three consecutive losses. With only three games remaining until the end of the Second Stage, every match becomes crucial for the team's standing in the league. Gerald, in his debut year with the team, has been a standout player, consistently delivering impressive performances. In a recent game against Klosterneuburg, Gerald once again displayed his talent by scoring 21 points and grabbing 8 rebounds, leading his team to another victory. His ability to make significant plays under pressure highlights his potential as a future champion. Throughout the season, Gerald has maintained excellent statistics, averaging 17.6 points per game, 7.9 rebounds per game (ranking fourth in the league), along with 1.4 assists per game and 1.9 steals per game in 30 appearances. His impressive individual performance has undoubtedly played a crucial role in his team's success, making him a notable finalist in the league.
#3. Jonathan Lawton, a 6'2'' guard who graduated from FSC in 2019 and received the All-SSC Player of the Year award that year, currently plays professionally in Australia. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to lead the Ringwood Hawks to victory against the Cavaliers in the Australian NBL One, where he scored 6 points in 24 minutes of play. The Ringwood Hawks, sitting in 19th place with a 1-5 record, suffered a tough 101-84 loss on the road to the 15th-ranked Cavaliers in the South group. However, as the season is still in its early stages, there is potential for a turnaround in their performance. Lawton showcased his skills in a notable performance against Casey C., contributing 6 points and 2 assists, although his team fell short of securing the win. Individually, Lawton has been having an impressive season with averages of 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.9 steals per game across 30 games. It is worth noting that Lawton also participated in the Eurobasket Summer League, an experience that ultimately helped him secure a professional basketball opportunity.
#4. Xavier Rhodes, a 6'1'' guard who is 26 years old and an alumnus of Norse from 2023, had a stint playing for FSC between 2019 and 2022 before turning pro in Azerbaijan. In a recent game, he showcased his skills for Gence but could not lead them to victory against the formidable Ordu team in the Azerbaijani Azerbaijan Basketball League. Despite his valiant efforts, Rhodes and Gence fell short against Ordu, who currently holds the top spot in the Grupa A group standings, with a close score of 108-106. Rhodes put up an impressive performance, registering 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists, along with 7 steals, during his 31 minutes on the court. This marked Gence's third consecutive loss in the league. Rhodes has been a standout player this season, averaging 10.6 points per game, 4.1 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and leading the league with 3.0 steals per game in 21 appearances. Although his individual stats have been impressive, Rhodes will continue to strive for success and lead his team to victories as they aim to improve their standings in the league.
